I personally don't view it as equal to the marriage between a man and a woman. However that being said if homosexuals want a government certificate that says "marriage" on it and all the legal rights associated with that then I'm all for them having that right since it makes them feel better to have their "marriage" certified as a marriage.

The mods zapped that one sharpish...
What you view it as is of no importance one way or the other. The law says it's equal now, so tough luck matey, it's equal.
Tough luck? I said I'm for it. It doesn't bother me in the remotest.
In fact I find it bizarre when some anti gay marriage activists are bothered by gay marriage and claim that it will change the definition of marriage.
The true definition of marriage in the minds of people cannot be changed by a document issued by a registry office.
BIB and you also said this "I personally don't view it as equal to the marriage between a man and a woman". So it does not bother you because you don't view it as a "normal" marriage is that what you're saying?
I'm sure that gay folk would rather have a government approved certificate, rather than a wise badger one. So it's no big deal really
" if homosexuals want a government certificate that says "marriage" on it "
It's the exact same piece of paper that straight people have. Even the ones that are married in a church.
Who gives a flying fig about what you think? The facts are that it is in every way equal and the same that straight couples have. That's it!
So what you have dreamt up in your head is your problem. I wish you luck with finding a cure.
It doesn't matter what your views are. The law says the marriage is equal.
What about the minds of all the people who see it as equal.
Why does your argument not hold water? So it's only in the minds of people who agree with you and ignore the law and the minds of everyone who doesn't hold your homophobic views.
Ridiculous nonsense!
I would love to have a wedding conducted by a wise badger. Not the OP obviously.
You seem to post about little else other than homosexuality. What is at the root of your obsession I don't know, but you've got nobody to blame but yourself if people brand you a homophobe.
Wouldn't it be a bit smelly?
Badgers are very clean animals which use communal latrines some distance from the sett. I can not speak for the OP in that regard.
Well, a badger that's wise would have a wash beforehand, surely?
So presumably you have always supported equal marriage legislation?
I hope these badger latrines are clearly marked. I wouldn't want to to fall into one.
Not necessarily. I once had a very wise teacher who was smelly.
No the majority of people don't. The majority of people in the UK support the rights of gay people to get a marriage certificate, as do I.
However they don't genuinely view gay marriage and straight marriage as being equal.
Marriage is just a ceremony followed by a certificate. It's the relationship that counts. And the relationship between a man and a woman is fundamental to the procreation of the human species. If all straight relationships ceased, it would result in the virtual extinction of the human species.
It's not a "marriage". It's a marriage.
I used to support just civil partnerships. However now I support gay marriage. However I've always supported a legal recognition of gay relationships.
