He had a civil partnership, and lived with his husband.

They were both invited and came to my wedding.

Now, why would I want to do that - because I am a bit shallow and want to 'keep up with the Jones'

He was welcomed into our church service.

Just because the church does not allow same sex marriages, does not mean it cannot tolerate homosexuals.

You're not the big bad guy, no way.

Anyway, just wanted to point out that the last phrase in your post is pointing out the issue that this thread is all about, homosexuals do not want to be tolerated, they want to have equal rights.

For my part I don't understand why people fight to have the right to get married by an institution which doesn't want them. But then again I'm not a believer.

Any chance you can tell us why it is unnatural?
And what else should be legislated other than homosexual marriage? Come on, let it out.

By the chap citing me as a bad father as he does not understand my opinion.

Totally incorrectly mind you. You've drawn your conclusion about me and my family, without any room for tolerance whatsoever.

It is only backwards to you - have you not worked that out yet?

I can happily tolerate homosexuality. The fact they I don't see two parents of the same sex should bear or foster children does not mean I am intollerent of homosexuality - it is just a natural limitation.

If it is not life and natural - what is it - Artificial?

Artificial is not real.

And don't want to use that right regardless........

I'd like to be filthy rich - not gonna rob a bank though, as that is not legal.

Apparently not, given the millions of other people in favour of gay marriage and adoption. Your statement is factually incorrect.

A limitation that is non-existent except in your mind.

An asinine comparison.
