It appears that the hatred of the left continues. They won't be happy until every kid is poisoned by there perversion. And we were told it was about 'marriage'.

//Celebrants demurring to officiate at homosexual weddings will be excoriated and forced out of the industry.//

Given that they don't defrock priests even when they rape children, that seems unlikely to say the least.

//Churches likewise will be attacked and protested against such that the will seek to keep their heads down.//

2000+ years and still going strong (well, strongish). I'm not convinced that SSM is the grave existential threat to religious freedom & expression that some would try to paint it as.

I think religion is considerably more tenacious than many of our tory friends give it credit for, and that the relentless march of science poses a vastly greater existential threat to its continued acceptance in our society. But it's still alive and kicking quite vigorously, some five centuries past the Copernican revolution... I really can't see gay marriage as the death knell of religion.

//Any research done into SSM which doesn't reach the approved results//

No, that's not how research works... if we already knew the answers, why would we waste time and money trying to find the answers?

//Ultimately the aim will be to teach dissenters that opposition is worse than useless//

Yeah, because yes voters are all secret fascists.

"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

Bit sad when your caricature of your opponents turns out to be plagiarised from some lame 90's sci-fi baddies...

//There will be a contest between the polyamory lobby and the transsexuals//

I do hope it will be jelly-wrestling.

//Look for the outrage at some used-to-be bloke denied entrance to the girls loo//

Well they can't bloody use the men's, that's for men. Says so on the door. This is even simpler than foreigners in the Parliament: sheilas are not welcome in the men's, and I for one won't stand for it.

Although this raises the question of just where they may relieve themselves: if ladies can't go to the lady's because they used to be men, and can't go to the men's because they're ladies... should they be allowed to pee in the bushes?

//Anybody taking bets ?//

I really should start a book; with all the completely mental prophecies flowing so freely from the lips of disgruntled no voters, a fella could make a killing... assuming they actually believe all that nonsense enough to back it with a wager and aren't just having a whinge because change upsets them.

Dear Paul,

«For the Churchies, It wont be long now until the newly weds Martin and Luther nail their legal marriage certificate to the church door.»

It would be nice indeed for churches to bless same-sex marriages. Some already do.

But why a certificate? Did Adam and Eve have any? If I ever need to look for your address, then my best bet would be to knock on the door to which the council's "notice of rates" is nailed.

One progressive thought:

The clearest indication of gender discrimination is in keeping and hanging onto one's genitals. Surely we cannot reach equality until the law demands that we cut it off (or fill it up as the case may be) - and those who refuse should be equalised by force.

'It would be nice indeed for churches to bless same-sex marriages'

no, one may as well join the god denies and sodomisers rather than bless what God curses.
