'Gay weddings' become law in UK

Hundreds of gay couples are preparing to form civil partnerships in the coming weeks as the law changes after decades of campaigning. At least 1,200 ceremonies are confirmed as being scheduled already, according to figures from councils compiled by the BBC News website.

Councils are preparing for the first ceremonies, with couples permitted to register from Monday morning.

Campaigners says the law ends inequalities for same-sex couples.

The first ceremonies under the Civil Partnerships Act can take place in Northern Ireland on 19 December, followed by Scotland the next day and England and Wales on 21 December.

Under the law, couples who want to form a partnership must register their intentions with local councils. Unlike marriages, the signing of the legal partnership papers does not need to happen in public.

The sun has finally set on the British Empire.

Make me vomit.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Looks like they're going the way of the Romans. . .

[satchmodog9]

From the mouth of Archie Bunker,"England is a fag country." I guess he never knew. I wonder how this is going over with the population.

[Cicero]

Tony Blair has supported this kind of stuff ever since he got into office. Earlier he was behind the initiative to lower the age of consent for gay sex with minors.

[SteveMcKing]

There is that dark, Darwinist side of me that says, let them settle for a fake marriage, and live out their twisted lives without any natural child-rearing or normal family.

Then I must remember that it won't end with gay marriage. Liberals will always push boundaries to new obscene levels and sell their queer ideas, particularly to kids and teenagers, or anyone too soft to stand up against "tolerance".

[Lucky Dog]

The Romans had an excuse... the barbarians were at the gate.

With Britain its...?

[AmishDude]

There is a silver lining here. Use it for statistics for counting gays in the population.

If they say it isn't representative because gays don't get married in large percentages, then we have the situation that most don't really want to live a "normal" middle-class lifestyle, as the activists often claim.

[sure_fine]

there just aren't enough gays in this world to justify all the bullshiot they are getting away with, something big must be slipping by, but what?

[The Worthless Miracle]

Oh no, I hope the heterosexual marriages can survive this!

[yldstrk]

The Empire is dead...

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yuck.

[bannie]

Call it whatever you want, 'tisin't a "marriage" in my book.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Please tell me that one didn't pass.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

That's no silver lining. Besides, gays are made, not born. Their numbers will increase with all this outreach. Why? Because of human depravity and arrogance that ignores the laws of nature and nature's God.

[Clock King]

Most of those relationships will break down in a year or so. Spain legalized marriage for gays and only 12 couple took advantage of it.

[Revolting cat!]

Brucie, get online and books us the cheapest flight to London, baby!

Adult-Child "marriage" is next.

[Cicero]

Yes, I'm afraid the lowering of the homosexual age of consent for minors did pass. The House of Lords tried to block it, which is one reason that Blair has tried to destroy it in its traditional form. It took intense pressure on Blair's part to push it through, but he did it.

I just googled it and found this article:

My money's on "plural marriages", i.e. polygamy.

[Zionist Conspirator]

So what happens when British moslems start complaining? Won't the UK have to backtrack to show how pluralist and tolerant of other cultures they are?

[SouthernFreebird]

Do I detect some mocking of those who oppose the fake marriages of gays?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It seems silly for you to write Christ (as in chr*stian) with a * in sort of the same way Jews write G-d for God. Isn't that out of fear and respect? I wouldn't think you would show the same respect for Christ.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Let's see, boys who haven't even finished highschool yet can now do this nasty deed with the full blessings of their government. No one cares about kids anymore.

[nanomid]

I'm sure normal marriage will survive.
Yet, the combination of all other types of Unions will probably start creeping out of the woodwork.
Man-Boy, Man-Dead, Woman-Animal, etc etc.

Who are we to prevent the old Europe from this illness.

[CheyennePress]

Oh, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed bestiality from its list of mental diseases a few years ago, claiming that animals and humans could share long-lasting bonds of love that transcended just sex.

It's just a matter of time.

These perverts and their "tolerant" and "diversity" loving buddies know no ends.

Everytime I hear either of the above two words, I want to vomit.

[Zionist Conspirator]

It seems silly for you to write Christ (as in chr*stian) with a * in sort of the same way Jews write G-d for God. Isn't that out of fear and respect? I wouldn't think you would show the same respect for Christ.

When I saw that you had pinged me I assumed that you had something to add to my comments on the topic of the thread. Silly me.

Please tell me you are kidding.

[longtermmemmory]

UK became U"Gay"

[longtermmemmory]

they also tried to remove pedophilia. They put it back in the DSM via addendum after they were caught.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Is it off limits to comment on a tag line?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Well, in retrospect...let me apologize for my comment about your tagline. Really it doesn't matter. I didn't mean to be offensive.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Ewww... my eyes! That is an ugly picture. That creature in pink looks like Richard Simmons.

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

"the English disease"

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Homosexual Agenda ping.

Ouch. Not looking good for Great Britain. Imagine if the Queen becomes a Queer. Britain's first homosexual royalty!

*gags*

[WasDougsLamb]

------Does anyone see anything missing here? THE BRIDE.

[The Worthless Miracle]

No, I don't mock those people at all. I just think on this particular issue, the arguments most people opposed to gay "marriage" are weak. I agree that it wouldn't be a marriage. It would be like calling a car a boat, marriage is by definition between a man and a woman.
However, seeing as government has chosen to become involved extensively in marriages, (through taxes, licenses, etc) and government has tried to get people to do what it thinks is good (get married have a family, etc), instead of staying out of people's lives - It's inevitable that other groups will want the same benefits - whether it's through marriage, unions, etc. Again, government should not be involved in marriage...

[Zionist Conspirator]

Is it off limits to comment on a tag line?

My apologies to you. I didn't realize you were commenting on my tag line.

I'm just so tired of repeating the "*" explanation over and over and over to new people who haven't heard it before. I guess I need to post an overall explanation at the "personal" section of the forum and refer all questioners to it from then on.

[Clock King]

My money's on "plural marriages", i.e. polygamy.

Someone in Sweden(?), with a lot of money, is already sueing for that. One man with two women.

[The Foolkiller]

C'Mon. now, everyone knows the biggest threat to England is the smokers in the population. That's why Blair got 'em banned from public sight. Priorities, y' know. /sarc/
