Two excellent reasons to OPPOSE gay marriage in the UK

Who do you think you're distracting?
It'll be noticed by everyone that you haven't denied what I said, you know, on account of it being pretty accurate. The thing is, we aren't homophobes, so we're not going to think badly of you if you just admit it, you'd be likely to get support from this place. Your sexuality isn't just going to go away if you hide it, really.

Do we have another fallacy on the cards from Mrs. Fallacy? Yes we do.

Well, the main reason I'm against gay marriage is the potential effect it might have on religious freedom, as I outlined in the first post. It is not acceptable for a gay couple to marry in mosques or to force an Imam or other religious figures to conduct such a ceremony. People can argue all they want how that isn't going to happen, but I see that happening, it's a very real possibility. The government have so far rejected all attempts by Muslim activists to apply the Church of England's exemption laws to Mosques.

You realize the only reason the government can make exemption laws for the Church of England is because the Church of England is controlled partly by government, as in, the head of the Church is the head of state, right?

Besides, I'm not sure you quite understand the law being proposed. When passed, no religious organisations are required to host gay marriages. In fact, any religious organisation must choose to "opt-in" before being allowed to do so. So, mosques are exempt by default.

I know but that's because they've amended an equality act, to make it, well...less equal. I wonder how long that stands up for. We need a binding legislation, similar to the Church of England.

I'm going to be charitable here and presume that English is not your first language. Nor your second. Or even your third. Matter of fact, I'm guessing your education in the English language came in some place

Yes, yes my friend. Throw insults because you know it makes you feel better after losing the argument You could have spent that time reading the Collins English dictionary that I cited as well hock: And did you just start a sentence with "matter of fact"? Oh the irony. Didn't know people actually went to hillbilly schools.
