[Baron von Biffo]

I want to be a lesbian!

[Dr. FIVE]

yes

[C. Flower]

Yes

[morticia]

What exactly are the arguments against??

I'm sure they're largely religious and I'd bet I don't agree with them.

My interpretation of St Paul on homosexuality:

St. Paul says homosexuality is a sin. Jesus and the Bible says that we are all sinners

So what exactly makes homosexuals any different from the rest of us?

What rights would gay couple acquire that they do not have under civil partnership?

What rights would gay couple acquire that they do not have under civil partnership?

Having talked to one half of one gay couple, I think a lot of it is down to the principle of the thing (which I can kind of understand from an equality point of view).

Yes, on the one condition they don't have those chocolate fountain thingies at the reception.

OK, NO chocolate banning, please. Respect the addictions of others (well, er, me).

If they acquire no additional rights it hardly seems worth focusing on to me. What about the outdated attitude to poligamy? Should overturning that not be the priority? But it never gets mentioned it seems to me.

Only if you're going to allow polyandry as well...

[Sam Lord]

Only if you're going to allow polyandry as well...

Mmmmmmm ...

Sure.

[Captain Con O'Sullivan]

Can't think of one single reason why not. I'm wondering why it appears to be banned in the first place.

[Kev Bar]

What do you call a lesbian polyandrist?

(let's take 'lucky' as a given)

Jesus would approve.
