Same-Sex Marriage

Two words - why not?

Why on earth not?

How can anyone justify their belief that same sex couples cannot marry except by appealing to definitions like our Prime Minister does ("I believe marriage is between a man and a woman" - yes, Julia, but WHY?) or by hanging on to outdated religious clap-trap that went out of date centuries ago.

If everyone obeyed what it says in Leviticus, our gaols would be full, and public executions would be commonplace.  For instance for working on a Sunday you need to be stoned to death; or if a child curses his or her father, that father is permitted to kill the child.

I cannot see how the world is going to fall apart around us by allowing same sex couples to marry.  In fact when you think about it, the number of people availing themselves of the service will be minusculely tiny compared to heterosexual marriages.

We are not proposing churches are forced to carry out the ceremonies; we are not imposing the requirement on anyone to either get married, be married or carry out the marrying.

Christians note:  what do you REALLY think Jesus would say.  Jesus, mind you, not Moses.

Please have some sense and wakeup to yourselves; this is a minor sociological change that is a storm in a teacup.  Our politicians are simply too gutless to do what they know is right.
