Things are getting complicated on both sides,

Suze, it's the gays that want to change my ways, not me. I have no intention of changing either my beliefs or my ways to accommodate a minority group, as there is a very very simple solution, that being what I have suggested and, it's a compromise.

This sensitive subject requires give and take not just take and take.

//it's the gays that want to change my ways, not me//

What 'ways' do they want you to change?

Perhaps young couples who pledge themselves to each other for life and are capable and intending to raise children should be the only ones to be registered by the State. That would take the whole debate about equality out of the hands of the radical socialist left banging on about equality. Others should make other private contracts.

No Josephus, I am still not convinced that any woman or man would 'decide' to become gay because of a broken romance. Wouldn't there be so many hundreds of thousands more gay people in the world if that were the case? What rubbish!

Josephus, I would suggest that religious organisations should get out of the marriage business and leave it all to the state. Then we wouldn't have all this ranting and raving about the supposed moral dilemma of allowing gay marriage.

No one can say that any married will remain together for life, or that they will have children, whether they are gay or not, so I really don't see your point.

Suseonline,
Religions set up the institution of marriage, that every man had a wife and every wife was cared for for life, no matter which religion you cite. That the State record such in Western society emerged during the rise of the Roman Catholic Church, to sanction such unions. It is a Religious institution and always has been, just that atheist socialists now wish to charge the Church with discrimination, and they wont be satisfied till they reap millions from people who refuse to recognise their twisted and unscientific view of sexuality.
