Couldn't agree more. The gay rights movement is quickly gaining more momentum, it really is just a matter of time before same sex couples are granted the same rights so the sooner the better. Polls (in Australia at least) have shown that the majority of the population support same sex marriage yet still governments hold on to the archaic idea that homosexuals are somehow less than an average person. The same thinking which led to the enslavement of African people and the reason women were with held the right to vote until the last century - both of which are looked back upon with embarrassment and shame.Originally Posted by charlie61
The whole conservative religious debate of "it says in the bible that only straight couples can marry" is what seems to hold a lot of weight with the anti equal rights people. Isn't there a law that demands the separation of church and state? Also do they not realise that the only reason the bible says such things is because it was written two thousand years ago in a time where infant mortality was high, life span was short and the most effective way to control people was through fear?
Sorry, ranting again. I just get really pissed off that this is still an issue.
