Kids are evil. Why would you want to put your kids through it?!
But in all seriousness, could you imagine having the birds and the bees from your 2 dads or moms? I just think there'd be a great imbalance in your upbringing.

Loads of opinions on two gay threads yet nobody has actually said the they were gay. I find this strange.

Na, its not normal and it shouldn't be forced on others to be treated as acceptable.

I seen a programme years ago about these guys who were sexually attracted to cars and as such had sex with them. I found it weird and just as unacceptable as a man being sexually attracted to another man.

So you haven't *truly* known any then, as i said. It's so ******* obvious on threads like this which people have had relationships with people outside their comfort zone and those who haven't. You haven't. It really is that simple.

I don't make it a habit to truly get to know people I have nothing in common with.

Do you think by letting someone get ***** deep inside me I may change my opinion? Is that how they got to you?

See that's a perfect example of how juvenile, prejudiced opinions allow the "no" vote to gain momentum. Utter ignorance. But you can tick a box on a poll so your voice gets heard. If it makes you happy, that irritates the **** out of me, as much as scummy licence evaders.

Homosexuality is a lot like your opinion Telboy. If it has to be forced its just not right.

I'm not a gay lover like most on Scoobynet seem to be, but what people do in privacy is up to them. Another but, most gays these days seem to think the world owes them something, it's always 'look at me, I'm gay' from people on TV to people working in shops.

I don't see why some people get so hot under the collar about blokes bumming each other, i think there is a lot of psychological evidence that suggests only those who are unsure about their own sexuality have a problem with it.

I have a good mate (25yrs was my best man ) that's a friend of dorothy's, doesn't shout about it and bangs quite a few birds too, has a sense of humour about it, knows he's a ****** and a mincer and we joke about it all the time, always practices safe sex and just gets on with his life, it's called being comfortable with who you are.

I also have carpet munching friends and they are the same, chilled about who they are and don't shout about it, have a joke about it especially when guys try to pull them as they are both "tidy" and enjoy a wind up.

Interestingly none of them like the "butch bird" or the "screeming queen"

I don't think it will ever be "acceptable" to certain segments of society, mostly due to religion, which is laughable as they are the most debauched due to repression of what should be understood to be perfectly natural feelings and not treated as a stigma, which then turns perfectly normal people into some sort of social pariah just because of a sexual preference, but a heterosexual male earning his "brown wings" is something to be applauded.

Go figure, it's a funny old world we live in.

I expect that he is referring to be 'forced' into accepting homosexuality as normal, rather than forced to be a homosexual. And the state-sponsored propaganda is going down that road, labelling any dissenters as bigots and/or uneducated.

By suggesting he (Jamz3K) is claiming that elements in society are actively trying to force him to be gay you are painting him as an idiot which suits your agenda.

Why do you find it so difficult to accept that to a significant proportion of the population homosexuality is unpleasant, whether that is one bloke licking another bloke's helmet, Dale Winton poncing about on the telly, or a teacher telling your 7 year old that having 2 daddies is a good thing?

Where is the dolt that created this poll, it doesn't seem to be going too well for the retard so I guess so he is keeping a low profile.

I am surprised at the results so far... only 33% of SN are narrow minded and/or stupid.... I would have thought it would have been a much higher percentage.

You know what, I have never subscribed to that view, but when you read things like Maguire's totally unnecessary reference to one man licking another man's helmet I do now wonder whether it's true!

In what way are you beng forced to accept homosexual behaviour as being normal? I mean in your home you can do what you like. In public you cannot discriminate, but then thats no different to racism, and nor should it be. Are you saying that you want have right to discriminate against homosexuals in a public sphere? Say in terms of a Job or providing a service?

No, I was questioning what was meant by "forced".

I don't. But hey, guess what, a much more significant proportion support Gay marrige than dont and an even larger proportion have no problem with homosexuals whatsoever.

Which I guess makes you a minority. And you must feel discriminated against. But hey, that's cool 'cos in your world, that's fine.

To be honest, there are far more important things to be worrying about in this world.
As I have already said, I have no problems with civil partnership but marriage is the holy union between a man and a woman. If you change this, where do you stop? Some things should remain sacred otherwise what's the point?

If two men want to have a relationship, so be it. But I do not have to like or support it.
That is my choice as a free individual living in the UK. We are all different, have different finger prints and we all like different things. I don't force anyone to watch my favourite program, eat my favourite food or partake in my favourite activity, so why should I be forced to like something that someone tells me to. Politically correct? **** off!

And before Telboy moans about me not 'properly' knowing any gay people, my 21 year old nephew is gay. Do I hate him? No. In fact, after not being in contact for a few years, we had a good catch up via email the other week.

You don't have to like it. You just can't discriminate on a public stage. No one is forcing you to like anything.

Marriage in a civil ceremony is anything but a "holy" union. People get married all the time that want nothing to do with anything religious but want to make a commitment to each other. And since Gay Marriage is explicitly banned from the CofE and optional for other religions ( and I can't see them flocking to do it , can you?) then what "sacred" aspect is being broken?

Nowhere in either of the threads has discrimination in terms of a job or providing a service been promoted.

Do you really believe this? Sambob could probably post some equally implausible polls that suggest the reverse.

Which I guess makes you a minority. And you must feel discriminated against. But hey, that's cool 'cos in your world, that's fine.

It would be interesting to get a genuine cross-section of society and give them a more involved questionnaire on homosexuality whilst they are wired up to a polygraph.
Then let's see how accepting they really are.

Stand for something or stand for nothing.

Of course we are being forced to like it. That's the whole point of this discussion and the movement in government. Public acceptance is being forced upon everyone and that really winds me up. To me, the whole argument seems to childish and pointless. It sounds like a school play ground all over again. 'But I want what they have.....it's not fair....I'm telling the teacher.....'blah blah blah. I know it is important to gay couples but when you compare it to what else is going on in the world, it really is insignificant

I'll tell what's important:-

-Our economy - This needs to be fixed above anything else. No good being poor but allowed to marry eh!

-North Korea and the threat they are starting to pose to the rest of the world.

-The worrying number of people that are getting charged with child sex offenses.

-The attitude of our youth - lack of respect and morals.

All of the above are exponentially more important than whether same sex couples can get married. In fact, the very notion that our government are wasting time discussing it at the moment, truely disgusts me. As a country, we seriously need to sort out our priorities.
