Well, that was an angry rant wasn't it? Don't worry I don't intend to attack anyone I see carrying a bottle of said branded fizzy drink... but I may silently berate them.
A brief post today, as those fools we call our government are debating the ins and outs (so to speak) of gay marriage, I thought I would share my views.
1) What difference will legalising gay marriage make to me? None whatsoever, I am not gay and therefore don't intend be indulging in any actual gay marriage myself. I don't have a gay BFF or a large numbers of gay friends, but for those that I do have, I would be glad to see them happy and if getting hitched is what they want to do, then who am I to suggest that they shouldn't?
2) What difference will legalising gay marriage make to the rest of the straight population of the UK? None whatsoever. It's not like legalising gay marriage is going to mean every home must have one...
3) What difference will legalising gay marriage make to the Church? None whatsoever. If church leaders want to impose certain rules on who can or can't get married in their particular church then that's up to them, but they can't argue about who can or can't get married in someone else's church/synagogue/temple/prayer teepee.
4) What difference will legalising gay marriage make to currently married straight people? None whatsoever, it doesn't make their own bond any less important, or less recognised.
5) What difference will legalising gay marriage make to gay people? Probably quite a bit, if you are gay and want to be formally attached to your partner in the same way straight couples are and at the moment you can't. And if one is a real life gay person who doesn't want to get married, then that too is OK and affects no-one but oneself, but better for it to be a personal lifestyle choice, than an imposed regulation?
Basically, just legalise it already and shut up and go away. Ta.
