Christine, I'm still mystified by your posts. You said in your original one that passing gay marriage would be like "like opening a Pandora's box & the decision will ultimately affect the lives of all in UK, but especially our children," but you don't here make any attempt to justify this claim.

You say that "the UK once flourished on Judeo/Christian principles," but don't expound on what these might be. I wouldn't rely on Leviticus for condemnation of homosexuality, since this particular piece of prehistoric fantasy includes some pretty bizarre prohibitions. To take a few examples at random, don't eat hares "because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you" (Lev 11:6), only choose your slaves from the heathen (Lev 25:44), and if a man sleeps with a woman and her mother, they shall all be burnt to death (Lev 20:14). There's also a thoroughly unhealthy obsession with not seeing all kinds of people naked (Lev 18) and a frankly bizarre "cure" for leprosy involving two birds alive and clean (one of them to be killed in an earthen vessel over running water) and various other livestock, including two he lambs, as well as cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop amongst other things (Lev 14 ad nauseam). Really, if one relied on this ludicrous stuff one would soon end up mad.

The other point you make is that "children in school will be taught from an early age that gay marriage is the norm & gender differences will become blurry & confused." Sorry, but this is utter nonsense: what I hope will happen is that gay marriage will be accepted as a normal and reasonable thing to happen for those that want it, not that it will be the norm in itself.

Really, this whole thing is beset with absurd arguments and complete lack of logic. Actually, the kind of arguments that are advanced have a parallel in the kind of things that were said against racial discrimination in the USA and white South Africa.....
