[Margaret Pilkington]

No, I am not homophobic........I do not care who shares a bed with whom...but I am against the redefining of marriage.
This government is making promises it hasn't a hope in hell of keeping. We all know how we Kow-Tow to the edicts from Brussels and the EU. What do you thing the Court of Human Rights will have to say about some vicar not marrying a same sex couple because it goes against his conscience?
Since when have the rights of the few over-ridden the rights of the many...and don't give me that old twaddle about 'Equality' it doesn't wash.
Let same sex couples have some sort of ceremony(I think this already exists - civil partnership)but marriage by definition is the joining of a man and a woman.
Politicians are just using this cynically to catch more votes....and while they are doing this they are NOT dealing with other things that are far more relevant and pressing....we have rampant immigration, we have economic woes that seem to be on the back burner(or at last it looks that way to the outsider)....we can't have a vote on the EU until 2017.....but politicians can fiddle around with laws to make same sex marriage a legal statute.
Thanks Gynn, for putting my blood pressure up this early in the morning......and starting my day off with a scowl. Hope your days goes as good as mine has started.
