I'm sorry but if you'd ever worked in teaching you'd know that wasn't true.

I've taught very small children barely out of kindergarten who are quite obviously going to grow up being gay.


I agree, not having been a teacher but my cousin is gay. He's 4 years younger than me, we were very close from an early age and it was obvious even then that he was different to my other male cousins and friends.

I am more than happy with civil partnerships, but marriage NO. We have lost far too many of our traditions to the Libbers, and this pandering to minorities for whatever reason whether it be different sects of religion, Sharia Law, soft sentences for crimes lowering the age of consent has in my opinion blotted our copy book, and this latest MARRIAGE farce one can guarantee will have a high divorce rate.
For Those in love, have your civil partnerships but leave the marriage bit out of the picture.

I have no problem whatsoever with same sex marriage.

I don't think marriage now is what it was once thought as. People now get married knowing they can easily get divorced if they want to - it doesn't seem to be anything particularly special in lots of people's eyes now.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!

How sad Debih, we are accepting and perpetuating what is "now" considered to be "the norm"
Marriage seems to have lost it's place in our society. Bless the Gays but Please let us retain
A little dignity and decorum when it comes to man and wife and "weddings"

Well said, Kate. It is all very sad indeed.

The changes that have taken place in my lifetime are almost beyond belief.

I don't suppose there has been any period in history when there has been so much change.

I find it hurtful that so many of the changes are not for the better. Perhaps that's why I am considered to be a bigot.

Some people have strong views Aggers it does not mean they are bigots, any more than those who comment on the problems caused through hundreds and thousands of immigrants that have and are making us the minority in our own country.
Many of us with strong views particularly on the latter having devoted years in underdeveloped countries voluntarily caring for the abandoned neglected and the hungry. I have strong views on a great many subjects this does not make me a bigot, we are probably the first to place money in boxes to help.(much of which never gets to the needy) offer real help. No one protected Gay men more than I in many of the countries I was in, who were often beaten up, sometimes by thoughtless heartless Europeans, I knew maphrodites (spelt incorrectly?) tragic individuals.
One was the most beautiful individual pwho adopted a child who called him mummy. He found himself in a position where he could not support her, through our group of friends she was adopted by an American couple and must now be in her 40's.
The problem in this country is that unless we agree that all the changes taking place here officiated by idiots in government
and damnable EU we are shamed .

Aggers my use of the term bigoted seems to have hurt your feelings, that was not my intent.

I also looked up the meaning of bigot, it means someone who has strong, intransigent views on a subject and is prejudiced towards a certain sector of society.......

I do understand that someone of your generation will almost certainly have very different views on certain subjects, ie race, sexuality, religion etc, we are all product of our upbringing and the social mores of our time, but when you put those views on a message board you can't expect everyone to agree.....In fact you have to accept that some people will have just as strong views to the contrary and will want to express them.....
I am very sorry if you are upset, but not sorry that I gave my own opinion....That is the nature of freedom, in speech as well as in sexual orientation......
