It's quite straight forward.

Take away the commercial benefits of homosexuality and all you have is a sub-culture pining to associate themselves with something that is nothing more than sexually different.

I'm fairly blunt, even in real life and I will leave you dumb founded just like every other homosexual I have. I know this area very very well.

What I wrote above is just a tip of the iceberg.

Why?

It's not in light with the political situation you're controlled by?

Its the same thing with a different name. The only reason its a 'civil partnership' and not 'gay marriage' is because marriage is a religious term and in effect it would contradict itself, whilst prefixing it with 'gay' just makes it seem abnormal.

Marriage is a bit of paper that anyone of any gender should be allowed, whats the fuss?

The fuss is that while a lot of the youth of today accept same sex relationships the same as straight relationships, lots of the older generations dont, it takes time for them to adapt to new ideas.

Homosexuality was only decriminalised in 1967, gay men and lesbians have been allowed to serve in the Armed Forces since 2000. The age of consent between gay men was only lowered to the same as heterosexuals in 2001.

Funnily enough the UK had pretty much been ordered to have an equal age of consent in the mid 90's, but each bill proposing this change was defeated until the government was able to push the bill through circumventing normal parliamentary procedure.

Society takes time to adapt. Change takes time. Ask women about true equal rights or people from a different ethnic background, while its true society in the UK has come a long way over the last 50 years it still has a long way to go.
