Two excellent reasons to OPPOSE gay marriage in the UK

[ideologue08]

So when it comes to heterosexual rights, all you can muster is "not sure what the point" is? Kinda shows your true colours doesn't it? And I'm not sure why you are even saying that since you are heterosexual after all. Don't be more gay than the gays Tiberius...

Erm, no. The issue of heterosexual civil partnerships is a delay issue, it's not a civil rights issue. It was invented to delay the gay marriage bill. There are literally no reasons for heterosexual couples to have a civil partnership, since marriage is already open to them and entails all that civil partnerships do (and more). Adding to that, if the gay marriage bill passes, civil partnerships would be obsolete, for the same reasons...

This doesn't mean I'm against civil partnerships for heterosexuals. If heterosexuals want them instead of marriages, fine, but there doesn't seem to be any point when it's a watered down version of what they already have at their disposal. So like I said; it's a delay issue.

Just look at the words you're using, it's a "delay" issue, "not a civil rights issue", "invented to delay", "no reasons" for heterosexuals to have civil partnership, there isn't "any point". Forgive me but it sounds like you don't have any justification for this opinion. How would you like it if I said there's "no point" for gays to marry or that the gay marriage issue is just a distraction (which it is). Either you want equal rights or you don't, am I wrong? If heterosexuals don't want to marry but have a civil partnership, you would say no to them, you would say gay rights come first because heterosexual rights is just a "delay" tactic. How condescending.
