//' Nope, it'll be xenophobia.' wasn't the case at Sodom and Gommorah.//

Actually, there is considerable debate amongst Christian scholars as to whether the act of homosexuality or the act of inhospitality and violence towards foreigners (i.e. xenophobia) is the more significant sin of the Sodomites.

But I expect you probably don't care what Christian scholars think, eh runner?

I don't have anything against homosexual marriage, but I don't want it to be conducted or registered by the state. I just don't want the state to involve itself with ANYONE's private relationships.

Perhaps we should refuse selling products and services to ALL people who marry through government!

So here is the deal: if you want the state to register the marriage of homosexuals, then allow all others who are currently registered as "married" to legally annul that registration.
If the overall result of SSM is less people in total registered as "married" with the government, then a good thing will be achieved!

Freedom of association is elementary and of utmost importance, thus anyone should be able to select whom they sell their products and services to. Even if their motives are stupid or racist, even if I do not approve of their motives, I will still fight to the death for this freedom to be maintained.

After transgenderism, it could be polygamy.

Paul, I have nothing personal against queers, I simply will not recognise their marriage as being equal to that of hetro couples should they get the nod.

The truth is we are being held to ransom by a tiny minority who expect the majority to change their ways just to suit their SS ways.

If only they would choose another word.

Dear butch,

Of the entire LGBTIQ community you focus on the Q or the queer portion. Why should they not strive for equal marriage rights the same as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans or Intersex communities?

It really is a strange and very selective phobia you seem to be exhibiting.

Why do you feel it is this very small part of the LGBTIQ community that is holding you to ransom?

I know of some very fundamentalist christians who do not recognise the marriages of formally divorced couples. Catholics must get a separate annulment from the church as well as the civil one otherwise they deem the second marriage invalid and as a result consider it bigamous.

Perhaps the Catholics are within their rights to ask these couples to use a different word for their marriages. What do you think?

Anyway ultimately you are just joining a long line of outliers who apply their own perspective on the validity of a person's marriage. Which is fine as long as you don't discriminate as a result.

SSM agenda has nothing to do with human equality, otherwise 1,193,400 in 2009 of de'facto couples would be pushing for equality and they are not.

The Equality agenda is to ultimately destroy the natural family of mother father and children as dreamed up by those wishing to destroy the moral mores of Christianity.

If you watched Insight last night you would have seen young people emotionally damaged by the destruction of their families. Children need stable loving parents and families to best survive emotionally.
