I love the suggestion of opening civil partnerships up for heterosexual couples but I feel the MP that raised it (and the other backbenchers supporting it) are doing so to try and derail this bill, which is why I'm reluctant to hope that that amendment is passed.

I mean the MP in question is against this bill but is suggesting we have straight people being allowed to have civil partnerships. Pathetic.

This tweet just about sums it up

Absolutely no way should teachers be allowed to opt-out of teaching same sex marriage in sex education classes.

This bloke is doing my nut in. The only people being 'alienated' are gay couples wishing to marry, not those who believe in the 'traditional' view of marriage

Which isn't acceptable. And I know that and you know that.

What this man is suggesting is that if a teacher wishes to say in a classroom that only marriage between a man and a woman is 'right' (when that would actually be incorrect in the eyes of the law anyway, if this bill goes through), they should be entitled to do so. Well I'm sorry but no, any other workplace and I'd have no issue - but in a school, as a public servant? Around children? Impressionable children? Then not a chance.

Has he not bloody finished yet.

[Jack_]

He keeps stumbling on his words and doesn't know what to say. Basically, he doesn't have a point and is just making up excuses to prevent allowing gay people the same rights he's entitled to because he's a homophobic bigoted backwards ******.

We did relationships and so as such touched a bit on marriage, but the MP in questions point was more about teachers being allowed to openly express their contempt for same sex marriage and that it was 'wrong'.

[Jack_]

Clause to allow registrars to opt-out was defeated - Ayes 150, Noes 340. Thank **** for that.

[Jack_]

Oooh, the debate and subsequent vote is now on extending civil partnerships to heterosexual couples. This'll be an interesting one.

I'm guessing he's a comedian, so the way in which he said it wasn't serious. The point was but the anger that he said it was was exaggerated.
