Blathering? I presented some half-decent arguments in favor. You have said little more than 'It's not natural I do not like it." Quite the opposite, it is pretty natural social phenomenon , nearly every classical culture in the ancient world had some form of socially accepted homosexuality. As well as a few of the animal kingdom.

Once had a pair of rabbits as a child, they would not stop bumming each other.

Bottom line is, this is your problem, your neurosis. What right do you have to deny others happiness?

... and that, gentle reader, is why "Uncle Ebenezer" went onto my "ignore" list within hours of my first noticing one of his posts a few months ago - unfortunately I can still see what he has written when someone makes the mistake of quoting him - please don't do that - it only encourages him ...

I admit it's irrational, but it's no less real and it's completely natural for us to reject that which we abhor. What right do gays have to deny my happiness? I'll warrant there are more people in this country who don't want them to display their freakish affection, as there are gays.

Anyway, where do you see "some half-decent arguments in favor" in:

Originally Posted by Geordie-Tex Then why the rejection of it? If you saw two women holding hands and kissing would believe that it was wrong? Would it creep you out and make your skin crawl? The fact is, in this day and age, it is a basic human right to allow them to do so. Should we ban women from using cars because parts of the middle east think it is both wrong, unnatural and of tye belief that they can not do so competently?

? I don't see them.

That's ridiculous. Endorsing gay marriage isn't going to make men kiss in the street anymore than they already do. It is not illegal to same-sex kiss in the street as it is now. So, any potential street kissers are free to kiss with or without the legalization of gay marriage, you numpty.

OK, miss stroppy pants - endorsing homosexuality at all. I wasn't talking about legal endorsement anyway, as well you know. Biyatch.

Look at all the cool, creative names they get. I wonder if gay blokes call us hetters things like 'knicker-dropping c**t spaniels'?

Eb and Sultan kiss in the street, and they aren't even married. It's outrageous.
