Not wanting to derail the thread.
Once and for all you can't 'marry' someone of the same gender. The definition of marriage is a state of matrimony between a man and a woman.
Call it what you want but it aint marriage. Unless you're Humpty Dumpty talking to Alice.
When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Extrapolating from some recent winners, I guess continental war is about 10 years away then.

Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
That just depends on where you are. In Dutch 'huwelijk' is the legal relationship between two people. The translation for the word is marriage. That most countries only allow marriages between men/women doesn't change the fact that you can still call same-sex marriages a marriage if these are allowed under your own law.
(Besides even Oxford online gives me the result of "(in some jurisdictions) a union between partners of the same sex."
Re: The continuing battle against the inevitable Euro area default
I'm pretty sure that when the Dutch were about to introduce gay marriage people used the same argument as IA. It's a circular argument though - marriage (right now) is an instutition between a man and a woman, so we can't go to a situation where it also applies to man/man or woman/woman couples.
As IA said it's off topic though. The reason I brought it up was because Cameron wants to introduce it and in doing so probably dissapointed some Tory voters, which is what you get from a party that doesn't want to pin itself on an ideological framework. Incidentally that was off topic, too.

I completely changed my opinion on it, I used to see it as hostile activism, now that it's here I am kinda proud of it. Things change and so do I.
