My wife and I have a marriage that, in certain ways, is not like anybody else's and this is true for every married couple. There are married couples in my country. Their marriages are, in no categorical way, inferior to what I have.There was another poll done which shows 34 to 28 points in favour of gay marriage, those in favour of gay marriage have a narrow lead but all that matters to me is that my local MP voted against it in parliament and plans to vote against it in any upcoming bill in parliament. I fully back her opinion. We do not want something that is different to be labelled the same, same-sex relationships are not the same as opposite sex relationships.
In the UK, as far as I can determine, you and some other hate-filled bigots in a significant and shrinking minority live in fear of the slippery slope. Why should your opinion matter? Nobody's forcing you to be in a relationship of any kind. At no point, ever, has legalized gay marriage led to even the first stirrings of any other marriage advocacy.

Sounds to me like you have such a tremendous opinion of yourself that you believe everybody else should change their lifestyles so that you're happy.No. The reason I'm not trying is because I don't want something banned just because I find it "yucky". That's not a good enough reason. Nobody should be forced to change their lifestyle just so I can be happy. But the government should not be forced to change definitions just so they or a special interest lobby group should be happy either. Most MP's in the ruling party are against gay marriage, it's those bastards on the left wing and especially in the coalition that are the problem. The left are going to win by a landslide in 2015 because the conservative leadership threw its base under the bus.
