So, which way are you all going to vote?
lol, just kidding
I,m still not sure how I will vote.
On the question of whether gays should be able to marry, I think if they where prepared to accept any other word for the ceremony, such as " civil union" and leave the word marriage to mean the joining of a man and a woman, half of the opposition would disappear overnight.
I have a couple of good friends who are gay and have been to parties at their place which have been attended predominantly by gay couples. When our kids where young, we even took them along to give them some understanding and respect for other peoples choices. I don't have any problems with gays making decisions to marry like the rest of us. Its none of my business and has absolutely zero effect on my life.
What I do object strongly too is the politically correct BS of being told how I should think, by those who consider themselves political progressives. The thought police that howl down anyone who voices objections to gay marriage. The way we are told we are too childish to publicly debate the subject and there will be hate speech and persecution if the general public are allowed to have a say in the debate.
The only hate speech and persecution I have seen has come from the gay activist lobby as it tries to bully any dissenting views into submission. I don't have a lot of time for religion, but I do think religious peoples views should be respected. After all marriage has been a predominantly religious ceremony for thousands of years. I don't see a lot of tolerance or respect being shown for those who object to gay marriage on religious grounds.
This tends to give me that Brexit feeling where a no vote would stick it up those elitists who consider their views are much more important than the little peoples.
With those conflicting emotions I,m considering abstaining from the vote all together
