This guy is the world's worst troll
Says the guy sitting in London all alone, without any friends. So he posts on BF 24000 times because of that lonesome life. Stop trolling and get outside, there is a real world out there, believe it or not...

I'm shocked you're evading the question.

My point is not mute. It's not even moot.

young homosexuals are not looking for sympathy nor blaming the world.

Seeing you won't answer the question, I'll answer it for you: it would not be a positive experience. It would further alienate and bring mental stress.

Now, I could ask why you think it's appropriate to further alienate young people, but I won't bother.
Waste of time.
I liked and enjoyed your entire post. But a special shout out to the bolded part. :D:thumbsu:

Did you realise that you actually have a higher average of posts per year than he does?

Especially if you have no friends to go out with...
Oh, absolutely.

As gay marriage is legal there, if wander out by yourself a gay person could just walk up and marry you on the spot.

That's how dangerous it is, it's a real slippery slope I tell you.

Much safer to stay inside.

But then this raises the Question why would a gay person want to become a part of a religious constitution which is against their beliefs, doesn't a civil union give you the same rights?
I'm thinking the difference between a priest and a civil servant ??


I will admit i've thought to myself in the past that if i was to marry someone , why would we even NEED a ceremony ???
Like , we can live as a couple comfortable in our own minds that we were married regardless of weddings , rings , a piece of paper even to confirm it.

24000/10 is 2.4k posts a year, less than your average.

Hypocrisy thy name is you.

Could not agree more.

SSM does not effect me at all my only thoughts is why would anyone feel the need to get married full stop, but that's a whole different issue. If they ever wanted to gage public opinion to abolish marriage all together it would be a big yes from me.

Just to play devils advocate.

There is no such thing as a civil union without giving it the name marriage. All marriages are civil unions under by law. There is no such things as a religious marriage. No religious organisation can confer the status of marriage upon any couple, unless they do it within the bounds of the civil law. Priests must conduct a marriage according the civil law or it is not valid.

In some countries the couple get officially married in the registry office first, and then go to church for a blessing and the repeat of vows. The actual marriage does not happen in the church.
