'GAY MARRIAGE' IS AN OXYMORON.

Noting some of the recent discussion about so-called 'gay marriage' makes me despair.

Marriage, by definition, is an act between a man and a woman. I don't take this view from any religious standpoint but from one of simple natural logic. Obviously, the various churches tend to look on the matter slightly differently and may well say that marriage, at its roots, is a religious sacrament, but it is still an arrangement between a man and a woman. To suggest that 2 men or 2 women can enter into a marriage is madness.

If 2 homosexuals, male or female, wish to enter into a formal union then I have no objection and neither should the state. Indeed, it might be argued that the state should introduce some form of legal arrangement, separate from marriage, that any couple can utilise in order to become a legally recognized pair, but this should not be referred to as marriage. It could, in fact, be suggested that the very idea of 'civil marriage' should be done away with and such unions could then be extended to any couple. However, 'marriage' of homosexuals in church really is an oxymoron.

Another consequence of all the recent 'equality' nonsense surrounding this and associated issues has been the lunacy that allows for a birth certificate to be altered in the event of its subject undergoing a sex-change operation; what lunacy. Surgery cannot change biological facts and for the state to pretend that it can is ridiculous. Again, we now have a situation in which children can be deemed to have 2 parents of the same sex, denying the biological necessity that one is male and one is female. Such crazy nonsense, so beloved of the left wing loonies who currently dominate so much of our lives, will inevitably create some horrendous problems in the future for those who are provided with a birth certificate which reflects such situations but, by then, the idiots who created the mess will be long gone.

Why do we all just sit back and let these things be imposed on us ? They are clearly rdiculous nonsense and yet the mass of the population does nothing other than whinge while having a pint at 'The Dog and Duck'. Will we never do anything more.
