Marriage Bill passes Commons vote - same sex marriage set to go ahead

[FlyingJesus]

It was pretty well split with Conservatives, 136 against 127 for, 35 didn't vote and somehow 5 managed to vote both ways lol, so don't think it's quite fair to say that Conservatives as a whole were against it when it's that close

[Inseriousity.]

Oh yeah I meant names, my bad! Probably a bit too soon for that haha.

I didn't know the numbers for the 'for' vote, my bad Just knew as a whole there were more votes for against

[Cerys]

I'm surprised you knew that aha. Do you do law in school or something similar? Or just general knowledge

Yeah, I'm doing Law GCSE c: It's so interesting + I want to do law in uni so I'm actually listening to the info (;

Why is it such a problem with the whole same sex marriage? It's not gonna really affect them or the country in such a big way that it'll breakdown, so can't they just give us what we want? ;l

Here's a selection of quotes from the BBC News article on people that are against the bill:

"Marriage was created for man and a woman. Your genetic code is faulty. "
"It's a sick old world. No wonder we're all in such a mess when this sort of thing is considered normal. Our Great Grandparents will be turning in their graves. So sad."
"Repulsion towards homosexuality is as natural as repulsion towards other people breaking wind."

So basically anecdotal criticisms rather than reasoned ones. Cool.

Gawdd some people are just messed up or too religious by saying that.

Tbh it just shows how many MPs are homophobic.

Well technically repulsion towards homosexuality is MORE natural than repulsion towards one breaking wind as it's a hardwired primitive response to mankind's desire to see the species repopulate. That doesn't make it right though, I mean it's also an instinct to kill off runtish or ugly offspring but most people disagree with that lol
