Most people thought they knew what marriage meant, namely the union of a man and a woman. In 2004, when the Civil Partnership Act was passed to provide legal protections for homosexual partnerships, Parliament was led to believe by the government of the day that this did not affect the established institution of marriage. But barely eight years later, political fashion has changed.
More recently, though, familiar words such as “husband and wife” and “mother and father” are disappearing from the statute books in the small minority of countries that have begun the experiment in social engineering.
(edit)
In Canada, since same-sex marriage was brought in, the courts have ruled that a child can legally have three parents, and in the province of British Columbia serious attempts have been made to legalise polygamy. After all, if you can abolish the most important pre-condition of marriage – namely that it requires a person of each sex – why should you be able to retain other pre-conditions, such as limiting it to only two people?
In the Netherlands, where same-sex marriage was introduced in 2001, “cohabitation agreements” have been used to give three-way relationships a measure of legal recognition. It is even being advocated as the next step over here. One Guardian writer, Martin Robbins, recently responded to these concerns by arguing “What’s wrong with polygamy?” He went on: “It seems to me that a child brought up by three loving parents would have some quite big economic advantages…”

It was always a danger, at least in the modern era, as the state’s definition of marriage is simply what judges, pols, or the majority think it can be at any one time. That works fine, up until the state’s definition departs from the actual definition, and society has become used to letting the state determine what a marriage can or can’t be.

the homosexual agenda
1-get social security for domestic partners
this crashes ss faster than almost anything.
2-homosexual adoption
hard to imagine this being helpful
3-same as every other lib agenda.
increase the size of government and
decrease the liberty of normal people

Well said.
Europeans, Brits in particular are pretty much responsible for the proliferation of male homosexuality over the last 800 hundred years.
Hang out at Eton, it’s worse than the Catholic Seminary’s.
You can not segregate normal healthy adolescents and teens from one another.
Their hormones are surging and if they have no outlet for normal interests except with their own sex...
Whaddya expect?
I am not talking pre marital sex, that’s been going on since we were created!
The Brits are and were the very worst of elitist, segregational, caste driven societies.
You get what you ask for.
They will be part of the Caliphate soon.
Guess it’ll be back to the salt mines....

thanks for the ping.
I heard that the Catholic church is fighting this over there which is good but I bet if the muslims, Hindu’s, Sikh’s etc got on board then the marriage will stay normal.
Seems the left is ready for a show down within itself.
Oh and having been raised in foster homes then I can say that no kid is asking to be put into a home with two men or two women and I know of one kid who killed himself due tot he social services leaving a boy with a mentally sick homosexual woman

"I KNOW BUT ONE CODE OF MORALITY FOR MEN WHETHER ACTING SINGLY OR COLLECTIVELY"
--Thomas Jefferson
I have been saying this for years. If there is nothing special about marriage being between a man and a woman; then, what is so damned special about the number 2?
The real question is why would a supposedly “conservative” prime-minster even think of entertaining such an abominable proposition?
Vote Ukip, at least they are actually conservative, and from what I can gather from their website oppose “gay” marriage.

Thank you, Stoat, and I will read the entire article. The screaming nosedive into the moral flaming cess pit will be turned around. It has to, because a flaming moral cess pit will quickly become total anarchy and chaos. But we may have to go through the anarchy part to get back to sanity and morality. I wish I could see the future.
I usually ping both lists for homosexual marriage stuff since it involves churches and religious expression and destruction of the natural family, adoption and so on.
Current fads are not likely to last against that intense pressure.
I can see the Muzzies secretly encouraging gay marriage, then pretending to be horrified when it passes. Gives them another reason to reject the British system in favor of their own, Sharia.
Indeed, and far too many people have become so lazy that they are no longer willing to stand up to the tyranny of The State, particularly when The State does the bidding and wields a cudgel in favor of a truly vicious, tiny, and in this case mentally ill minority.
