A debate that would be more relevent to me personally would be ''should gays be allowed to marry in a church or chapel?''

Standing beside each other in a town hall or whatever telling each other that they love each other and signing a piece of paper to me is not really a marriage so tear away.

I didn't get married in a church. Is my marriage not "real"?

Did you marry a man or a woman?

A woman.

Why?

Just wondering if you were a gay.

would i be right in guessing that you've missed the whole you can be pro-lgbt rights and not be from the lgbt community thing? ethical value-based position?

You're looking for the gay perspective or you think a gay person's opinion is more or less relevant?

So I assume you voted Yes in the above poll then?

I have not voted.

I would have a fear that once the right to legally marry has been sorted the next step would be, for some gay couples, to force their way to marrage at the alter. That would be a massive NO for me.

Given the privileged position of churches, I doubt that will ever happen. And how could it, legally?

I hope you are right.

Why, when you are involved in a debate, do you feel the need to throw simplistic insults at people who have a different opinion to yours. It does not help your cause. Quite the opposite in fact. You seem to have form in this way.

Well i know if i was a kid being brought same sex up I wouldn't like it. I have no idea if it will make them gay or not. Its not bad to be gay people can be what they want.

How do you know?

My gut feeling.
what if you were brought up by 2 gay men in Tralee  and you grew up witnessing 10 all Irelands ?

You couldn't debate your way out of a wet paper bag ffs, as proved by your answers on this thread.
It's also ironic the biggest troll on the board is upset by someone insulting them  :D
