we live in Canada and we are able to marry. we have been planning our faboulous lesbian wedding for a year now and we are getting down to the crunch. Only 32 days left! The best thing about being able to get married is the pride on our childrens' faces.
Our whole family is attending there will be more than 200 people at our wedding and we are going to be married in the United Church. Following that will be a huge halloween party! Wish us luck!

Your mom and dad/relatives would be those to remorseful approximately not coming on your wedding ceremony. while you're chuffed then that's all it fairly is significant, and that i think of human beings should not be so judgemental, what a merciless commentary to make approximately not seeing your father in heaven. there's a great gay/lesbian community interior the united kingdom, get your self accessible and make some buddies! as quickly as you have been here for a couple of minutes you will quickly meet human beings with the aid of artwork or socialising. do not enable it harm your day.

I think that civil ceremonies are a good idea, although my partner and I will not be having one. We are happy as we are after 4 years together and dont need to prove our love to each other or anybody else. For those people who dont think that they are a good idea then all I can say is that if you are fortunate enough for someone to care about you enough to invite you to one, that's all it is an invitation not a court order forcing you to attend. For those bible bashers on here Im sure if you read the bible properly you will find several references contradicting each other. The bible wasnt just written by one person and their views and interpretations just like ours are likely to differ. Yes God made Adam & Eve (not Steve), however if God had made Adam, Eve & Steve how do you know which one Adam would have chosen to make love to? If you take the story literally then it gets very incestuous. Incest is a crime, homosexuality is not. I believe one of the Ten commandments was "Thou shalt not lie with another man's wife" it didn't say thou shalt not sleep with another man. Wake up you small-minded people and broaden your horizons. I thought the kingdom of Heaven shall be seen here on Earth (meaning everyone is free to live a life free of discrimination and a full life)

now what, civil partnership or wedding? there is a difference, y'know, civil partnership doesn't quite entail the same rights. i'm fully in favour of gay marriage, with the same rights and obligations as heterosexual marriage. the nature of marriage has changed, from a means to provide mothers and children with economic security to a symbol of committment, and i feel it is high time for legislation to reflect that. furthermore, by now the word should have got round that sexual orientation naturally comes in different varieties, and consequently no civilised society can morally afford to discriminate on its grounds. i am thinking in particular of societies here that on the one hand advocate the separation of church and state left, right and centre but on the other hand let the church have a free run on secular matters when it fits the agenda of those in power - and opposition to gay marriage is almost exclusively based on religion. i have also heard of the most amazing forms of discrimination taking place in connection with same sex relationships that could easily be resolved by the introduction of gay marriage. the only reason for me not to introduce full gay marriage would be constitutional difficulties (definition of family etc.) that would make it hard to get legislation signed off. in that case gay civil unions would be a feasible compromise. the one thing i know is that a modern democratic society worth its salt has to accomodate committed same sex relationship in some manner, not having any legal protection for them is absurd.

Gay people should definitely be allowed to form a civil partnership with a person of their choice. How could society expect them to set up a home, live together for years sharing everything and then, when one dies, the other cannot inherit? That's barbaric. Call it marriage, call it what you like, but allow them to do it. Its only fair.

I think it's about time. Who is the government to say that just because a couple are gay that they cannot have a union such as a marriage or have any inheritance rights, next of kin etc. You cant help who you fall in love with and I'm glad they've realised this.

It's about being able to love and share your life with who you want without fear, or to have everything taken away from you when one person dies...because that pretty much happened beforehand - no legal right to inheritance, pensions or even the tenancy of a rented property.
Imagine living your life being told you couldn't love a person simply because you both had blue eyes - that sums up the logic of any anti-gay/lesbian arguments.

Its not an issue at all. People are all human, whats it matter if they are the same sex? If two straight people get married, no questions are asked whether they should or not or what others in society might think of them. The same should apply to gay marriage, no questions asked, no judgement put upon them. Love is love.

I think it is no one's business but the people who are planning to be in that marriage as to whether two men, two women, or one man and one woman get married. Who does it hurt to allow a man and a man to get married? Who does it hurt to allow a woman and a woman to get married? What right does the government have to restrict our civil liberties like that? I believe it is no one's choice but the two people who enter into the relationship to decide if they are right for one another and "allowed" to get married. Being gay isn't a choice, it just is--like blue eyes, brown hair, height, or any other genetic trait. So, if that's the case, why do we limit who can and cannot get married? If it is okay for a man and a woman to marry, why is it not okay for a man and a man/woman and a woman to marry?

I am heteral sexual,but I think this new law is a good thing.The only thing that upsets me is when some homosexuals molest children and prey on the innocent.I myself have had several gay friends,and Ihave found them to be caring and responsible people.and I am sure the majority of gay people will agree with my views.When will this world learn to live and let live.
