I am against the proposed changes.

If same sex people want to live together fine - just don't expect me to accept that you are "married" like I am to a woman.

I heartily agree!

I am opposed to those people who would denigrate marriage by allowing same sex poofters to marry. What about the inviolable sanctity of marriage? The marriage vows specifically state that marriage is between a man and a woman. The marriage vows do not say anything about poofters.

Besides, I do not want my marriage (between myself and my wife) to be seen in the same light as poofters. I am happy for them to call it a union or some other name, but stay away from marriage.

Marriage is sacrosanct. Let's keep it that way!

If same sex people want to live together fine - just don't expect me to accept that you are "married" like I am to a woman.so would you recommend a referendum? That way we will truly see who the minority is

Marriage is sacrosanct . Let's keep it that way!but you are quite happy for the poofters to be seen the same as couples that aren't married . And please don't tell me your relationship with your wife is any more special then a couple that aren't married

1336645 2013-04-14 04:52:00 No I wouldn't.surely only then we would see what the people want, and by your thoughts you would have nothing to worry about. plod (107)
1336646 2013-04-14 05:12:00 All of the people and organisations complaining about same sex marriage saying its wrong obviously have nothing to better to do than voice their opinions to make them look like they are going to do something about it. At the end of the day its not going to affect any of the people complaining at all. The only ones it will affect are the same sex couples that want to have their relationship recognised as marriage.

1336647 2013-04-14 06:03:00 surely only then we would see what the people want, and by your thoughts you would have nothing to worry about.

Only the blind will see what you want them to see.

It has NEVER been proved that a referendum reflects the opinion of the majority - it only represents the majority of the votes cast.

The majority of decent honest upstanding citizens in our community do not vote in referenda.
