Homosexuality and marriage (again)
Ok.
I am speaking as a straight guy. But one who beliieves that all humans are born equal, no matter their colour, gender or sexual orientatiuon. ...and also a strong atheist. Ok. here's where I stand... I dont believe same sex couple should be married under any faith where their texts forbid it... If you want to be a christian/muslim etc and get married then you do need to be straight...as far as I can see... And for me that's a good thing as it just highlights how irrelevant those religions are in todays world... However I believe all couples should have equal right to 'marriage' under state, non-religious law. The current law in the UK annoys the hell out of me. As a non-religious non-homosexual person I would welcome the current ability for union that homosexuals have been (rightfully) given... But I'm not allowed it... What do you think?

I'm all for homosexuals getting married. I think it's not only in the interests of the people themselves, but in the interests of society and government to extend marriage to homosexuals.

I am shocked to see that an atheist would want gay Christians and Muslims be denied such a basic right due to their religion. Why not encourage people to change their religion to make it more humane?
