Hope this passes, despite my general opposition to government involvement in marriage. If they have to stick their nose into our private lives, they should at least be fair about it.

Funny how the Catholics or the Anglicans actually think they represent people, have they not noticed their attendances lowering and churches closing?
Cunts.

The real tragedy here is not denying
gays equal rights though that is bad enough
but the state of marriage itself : we have the highest
divorce rate in Europe here in the United Kingdom : marriage
should not be eternal as many cannot stay the course : would be far
more practical to have a fixed term contract and when that expires either
renew it or have couples go their separate ways : they would have to stay married
while the contract was still legal so divorce would be outlawed : the contract would only be
short term so any incompatibility in the relationship would not be referenced for natural time span
of the life of the couple : now this of course would not automatically guarantee longer unions but least it
would remove major emotional and financial burden of being trapped in a loveless relationship for ever and a day
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN

Of course they have. The Panzerpope claimed a while back that the reports of pedophile priests in the US were the result of a campaign by our news media to discredit the church.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

So the Pope watches Fox News does he?

The opposition to this truly does suck, but just the fact that you are even considering implementing this on a national level puts you leaps and bounds ahead of us here in the states.

Gotta ask.
Does this cover adoption as well?

I could honestly give two shits about whose asshole you'd like to put your cock in. I've had several gay friends, I enjoy most of them.
