| 1297599 | 2012-08-29 12:01:00 | Why does there have to be a benefit demonstrated and to who? Quite clearly if it makes those getting wed happy then there is a benefit. Accusing party!! Jeez Try again. It seems a number of people object to same sex marriage because they object to homosexuality and are using the marriage issue to protest about the other. Quite the opposite, in fact many churches from a variety of denominations have come out in support of gay / lesbians having their solemn relationships acknowledged throughout this, although they refute the proposed changes to the definition of the word "marriage". ( www.stuff.co.nz ) Too late, get used to it, look at the polls and see which minority you're part of. Accept people are different and realise it ain't doing you any harm. I find gerkins disgusting but I just choose to walk past them in the supermarket Potentially, however in the US where it's gone to polls beforehand show overwhelming support, but when it comes to referendum day, the final vote was quite the opposite. The same can be said for likewise, how is it harming you having the word "marriage" as an exclusive "One man, one woman" definition? After all, marriage is by definition discriminatory, and will still remain so after this proposed change (Such as a man not being able to wed his adult daughter). |

| 1297602 | 2012-08-29 20:41:00 | The institution of marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history... en.wikipedia.org The church just hijacked it, and I personally believe the church has no say nor claim on it or anything else, People that go into special buildings to worship fantasy creatures cannot be trusted. That aside, Poofs can come up with their own form of suffering, marriage is ours. That link was worth reading. It seems marriage exists to stop us fighting over the choice babes and to leave them to the lucky bugger who is first to snap them up. Ultimately it might be a strategy to stop young horny and jealous men from killing each other. But where is the benefit for the women? |

| 1297608 | 2012-08-29 23:22:00 | Don't let last night's vote convince you that the "majority" are in favour of the legislation. It is only a procedure to get it to the committee stage where the MP's can openly slam the proposed legislation. The public submissions will then let the MP's know their chances of re-election if they vote in favour. Watch the voting gap narrow as the proposed legislation goes through its next stages :) |
