Two excellent reasons to OPPOSE gay marriage in the UK

[ideologue08]

Actually, if you read the article carefully, it only states that Stonewall,"said it would be a 'terrible pity' if the legislation got 'bogged down' and urged MPs from all parties not to 'play politics' with it." While it may be true that Stonewall is against civil partnerships for heterosexuals, nothing in the article actually indicates this.

In English, when you say to someone not to get "bogged down" with something, it means that you don't want them to make progress with it. This is from the Collins English Thesaurus: If you get bogged down in something, it prevents you from making progress or getting something done.. So, in plain English, it means Stonewall do not want progress on the heterosexual civil partnership cause. It's the exact same phrase used by our defence secretary when he justified his reasoning for opposing the gay marriage cause sighting other more worthy causes, they shouldn't be "bogged down" on gay marriage.
