Apart from a vociferous minority who like some people on this forum are intent on making their own narrow viewpoints made, I'm not sure gays themselves are too fussed either way (civil union or marriage) . I know 3 gay couples . One couple had a civil union, the other two in their own words see no reason to do so . As they said, they've lived together for over 20 years and are secure enough in their relationship not to need any blessing by the state or church . Or, to need to make an in-your-face statement to any detractors . One male couple have a strapping + 6' 16 year old (straight) son adopted as a baby . Well adjusted, captains his rugby team, and his friends have no issues with dropping into his home and socialising with his parents, who themselves are not objects of approbrium within their community . Through one of these couples, I've met a (previous) All Black player who also on occasion "plays for the other team", and who said most of his AB team were aware of his walks on the wild side, but were indifferent to it . I'm dismayed at the extent of bigotry, and intolerance voiced by some in this forum . Most of these couples could never be described as limp wristed faggots and would never be seen in any gay pride march or Mardi Gras . Not because they are "closeted", rather that they don't identify with either the cause or extravert behaviour . Rant over .	WalOne (4202)

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 :) With watching the news, it seems many of the MP's are on our side and are against it, it gives me a small amount of faith in parliament and MP's. One thing I'm sick of, is, they don't want to be judged and called names etc.. But if any of us are against their way of life, we get yelled at and called Bigots, Homophobes etc.. Another thing, they are always on about "being who you want to be", now if I said say, for example, I wanted to be a sex offender (just and example), they'd get up in arms and have a mental and say I should be locked up, which their lies them being hypocritical, as they did say "Be who you want to be". In the end, we can't convince these people that being homosexual is wrong, and they sure as hell can't convince us that it's right and normal.	goodiesguy (15316)

Homosexuality is not right and is not normal, but because a large proportion of people think it wrong and abnormal, they are attempting to make it seem right and normal by giving these abnormal people the rights that normal heterosexual people enjoy. It's wrong and should be condemned as such.	Roscoe (6288)
1297612	2012-08-30 00:49:00	I have to agree with Goodiesguy and Roscoe. Homosexuality and lesbianism are not normal and no amount of legislation will make it so. They are both unnatural and abnormal behaviours and it is time for normal heterosexual people to side with the Catholic Church and applaud their stand.	Ulsterman (12815)

But sex offenders cause psychological damage and such to the victims they rape\molest and ruin their lives, while two gay people in love getting married doesn't hurt anyone (except maybe themselves, if they end up getting divorced or whatever) And maybe people like you, who get their knickers in a twist over it for no good reason	Agent_24 (57)

Homosexuality may be unnatural (itself debatable), but so are clothes.	pcuser42 (130)

Most gay people I know appear to be decent hard working individuals who lead a normal life except one thing - they're gay.	QW. (15883)

I don't hate them except for those really "Gay" ones who show it off and put on the funny voices. It's more the act and them trying to say it's normal and ok that I hate.	goodiesguy (15316)
