Civil Partneships Legal in the U.K

Recommended Posts

The first set of civil partnership ceremonies for gay couples in the UK have been held in Northern Ireland.

clicky

Personally, I think that this is good news. It starts to enable all the people to be treated with equal respect in the eyes of the law - and that can never be a bad thing.

No I dont think so.... Non-religious straight partnerships are called the same thing, I believe.



Then the Brits at least got it straight in their heads and aren't worried about the semantics, rather they targetted the tangible benefits. Good for them, not being stupidly confrontational about the 'social' aspect of it resulted in a payoff for that cause.

If everyone were equal then a socialist republic would work just fine. Everyone would have the same requirements.



Aren't you confusing "Being Equal" with being TREATED Equally?

This LEGAL ceremony, while allowing long-time homosexual co-habitees to declare their enduring love also has the VITAL side effect of conferring on homosexuals the legal rights with respect to inheritance, pensions, etc... which have long been subconsciously enjoyed by heterosexuals.

Now the SERIOUS-HEAD comes off... :D Did you SEE the two birds that got married!!?B| I wouldn't have given either of them one anyway! No matter how dark it was!>:( They're best off wiff each other if it means they're not gonna' chase men!:P

Y'All know, from looking at these recent threads, I realise that the real battle isn't about opinions, it's about Tolerance Vs. Intolerance. Democracy Vs. Autocracy. Permitting Vs. Forbidding for it's own sake.[:/]

Which side are "You" on?

I guess that there are some people in socielty that are so unhappy (and/or alone) that they cannt stand other people being happy.
If people want to be togerther in a religion based wedding or civil partnership, it has no affect on any of the rest of us.
If you dont want to be happy for them, I'm sure that they could care less - What I say, is live and let live and good luck to 'em all.

fucking benders should be shot >:(



Ya know... THere are treatment courses available for your HOMOPHOBIA!;)

Either... We can go the "Conditioning" route, where the patient is gradually exposed to Homosexuality in very mild forms, gradually building up to meeting, and ultimately socialising with Homosexuals without becoming distressed.:)
Or... my own preference... We can go the "Immersion" route, which basically involves being strapped down and Arse-Banged until coming around to fully accepting the Homosexual lifestyle!!!:D:D:ph34r:

Lordy Lordy, I am CURED! No... I am... Really...:D



TOO LATE!

Nothin' personal mate... It's just that we've already ordered sufficient "Novelty Eiffel Towers" to meet demand... And the Diesel generators to power them...!:P

So... Are you sitting comfortably?:ph34r:

If so, then perhaps you should savour the moment!:o

Mike.:D
