Same sex marriage

[Zen Badger]

Yeah, how dare these people have the same rights as you and me.

Just because they pay the same taxes and are subject to the same laws and responsibilities as everyone else does not mean they should have the same rights as everyone else.

Am I right????

A secular dictatorship that will make laws to restrict religious freedoms to be a bunch of self righteous, sanctimoneous arseholes.

Yeah, I'm cool with that.

Marriage is not a "right" its a religious sacrament, your argument is the same as saying "all people should have the same right to receive the eucharist, no matter what they believe or do". Same sex couples have all the same rights in law as married couples, they have civil partnerships.

For starters marriage is not a religious sacrament, it is a contract of commitment between two people.(Ever heard of civil marriages?)
But of course religion just couldn't pass up the opportunity to control yet another aspect of peoples lives could they?

And why shouldn't two people regardless of sexual orientation be married in any way they wish?
Apart from the reasons of your obvious homophobic bigotry and the churches outdated angry desert deity credo?
