You know my methods

Ukip has released a mini-manifesto for Christians, saying it would extend protection to those who want to oppose gay marriage because of their religious beliefs. The document is published on the websites of some candidates and the election page of Christian Concern, a group that is against abortion and same-sex marriage. The manifesto for Christians says Ukip would not seek to reverse gay marriage, even though the party was opposed to it being introduced. However, it would offer special protection to those who wanted to object to gay marriage or express other matters of religious conscience in the course of carrying out their jobs. The manifesto says: “We will not repeal the legislation, as it would be grossly unfair and unethical to ‘un-marry’ loving couples or restrict further marriages, but we will not require churches to marry same-sex couples. We will also extend the legal concept of ‘reasonable accommodation’ to give protection in law to those expressing a religious conscience in the workplace on this issue.” http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...e-sex-marriage (good news for bakers and printers) another Tibb vote winner? |

You are somehow suggesting that real tolerance is tolerating and embracing other peoples intolerance? Heterophobia doesn't exist, just like reverse racism doesn't exist either. (A few examples of ignorance doesn't equate to a pandemic issue that is equal to the plight of a minority for generations.) I'm not saying that death threats or violence is appropriate or the right way to go about it, but that doesn't mean that nothing should be done either. Last edited by M X; 29-04-2015 at 09:31 PM. |

Well it should be up to the particular churches if they want to offer gay marriage.

So UKIP was against legalising gay marriage then? I don't think any of the main political parties here are actually campaigning against it for the upcoming referendum, they're all in the Yes camp which is great

I can't see it not being passed, but I'd never be as arrogant as to not vote.

Oh here we go again , this subject has been debated to death on here but again I make the point what does "legalising Gay marriage" actually mean ?
In law both gay and straight couples can marry in any building they want as long as they obtain a marriage licence and observe all other legal requirements. That is Marriage... That's it the rest is down to personal religious preference , so if you are a member of a church that at its core does not marry gay couples then that is that...!!! Go find a church that marries gay couples or start one of your own, but you will not and can not force a group of like minded people to change their views because someone tells them to. It won't work, won't wash never gonna happen so move on and let these backward thinking bigoted people carry on with their own church . Who wants to be in a church like that anyway. That's it really in a nutshell , gay marriage is a meaningless term as all marriage is allowed in the UK . Religious wedding ceremonies well that's another issue and one that is best left to individuals.
