I do...Mark, your slippery slope arguments are weak. I don't hear any strong cases forthcoming for inter-special marriage or polygamy, so I don't think there's that they'll be riding in on gay marriage's coat-tails any moment soon.<BR/><BR/>I rather wonder how you can be bothered devoting so much time and effort, thought and emotion into campaigning against it! I'm not in favour of it myself, but it doesn't really bother me if it's allowed. For the record I am a gay man in a long-standing monogomous relationship, and I don't really need the sticky-beak of the state and (god forbid!) the church poking around in my private life. My relationship is just as real with or without the rubber stamp and legal hocus pocus of marriage. It doesn't really make a jot of difference to me. To the rational eye, it's clearly a bit of an absurd, vaguely medieval sort of an institution: harmless enough, just not for me.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't really be bothered campaigning against it. I'm too busy getting on with my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1150592004960463602006-06-18T10:53:00.000+10:002006-06-18T10:53:00.000+10:00Good post Mark you may be intrested in the post at...Good post Mark you may be intrested in the post at my blog which considers the same issue .<BR/>http://boltwatch-watch.blogspot.com/2006/06/bolt-166-gay-marriage-or-homeopathic.html<BR/>Please forgive my blatant plug :o)Iain Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912470020966769814noreply@blogger.com
