Houelle mate, I will call you whatever you like, even fairy godmother.

I had the same problems re:defacto. This is when I started asking the question why the government needs to define my relationship at all.

After reading through all the comments on this thread, I am still none the wiser as to how allowing gay people to legally marry each other will affect anyone else's family or relationships?

I don't care who marries who, as long as it is legal.

As far as I am concerned, if the Government has already allowed civil unions for gay couples, then it won't make one iota of difference (except to the fanatically religious) to extend that law to marriage.

Even if you do believe that the invisible man in the sky told some guys 2000 years ago or so, that homosexuality was an abomination, then why would it bother you unless a same sex person wanted marriage with you?
If you don't like the concept, then don't marry a same sex person.

Houllebcq as you wish to be the mother of your children, you have my support when you go though the Transgender medical reassignment procedure!

Theoretically, you could have one without surgery byIVF and ectopic pregnancy. Unfortunately, it's life threatening.

The same-sex marriage plan is about politics, not people.

By claiming that legislation of same-sex marriage would not affect non-gays, proponents of same-sex marriage are being disingenuous. As in countries where SSM has been legislated, they would not stop there, but move to introduce associated legislation to over-ride the exercise of freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Passing SSM makes marriage meaningless. Then, why not move to make group marriage and marriage to animals legal?

Stezza, it is you and your homosexual mates who wish to redefine the word “marriage” in the English language to suite your own groups self interest. You are trying to make homosexuality respectable, and you are doing so by demanding that the word “marriage” apply equally to homosexuals and normal people.

Your problem is, that most of us normal people just won’t buy it. As I stated previously, the majority of people are tolerant of homosexuality, but will not accept that it is normal behaviour. I think I speak for the majority when I say that most of us consider that homosexuals have some sort of genetic problem. It is not their fault, they are not doing any harm provided that they keep their deviant and unacceptable behaviour confined to their own bedrooms. But respectable and normal? Oh puleeeaze.

The male rectum is a one way valve, Stezza. It evolved for passing soft material one way. It is not designed for passing hard objects the wrong way. Doing so just creates a lot of work for your proctologist and urologist.

Now, you and the rest of you little buggers go off and do whatever it is that you do, but don’t try and tell the rest of us that it is normal and equal to a man and woman making love, or procreating. Because the more that you demand equality, and the more that you use underhanded methods to go against the wishes of the majority, the less tolerant of you buggers the majority becomes.
