Re: Same Sex Marriages.

It's the changing of definitions will always cause problems, as it and for the gay couples in question as well as other people. (EG definition of marriage changes, grounds for divorce must change--adultery for example means relations with the OPPOSITE sex).

I would be more in favour of an alternative to marriage that holds the same respect and purpose and is viewed in the same way by those institutions it matters to. If civil partnerships are not enough, then something else.

So true.

My family are very 'anti gay' which has caused issues for me as I have quite a few gay friends , It's nice to view so much open-mindedness on here.

This made me laugh.
