This is the biggest load of crap I've read all week. First off, our government, as incompetent as it is, is more than capable of multi-tasking. They can't spend all day talking about one issue as that wouldn't be productive, so at any given time numerous things are sorted in tandem. There's no reason this can't include a civil rights issue as eminent as gay marriage. Secondly, homosexuals do not currently have legal equality. I don't care if civil partnerships hold the same legal benefits; the mere fact that the name is different means that you're taking homosexuals, cordoning them off and putting them in the corner separately from the rest of society. In the twenty-first century this sort of immoral behaviour on a legal level is unacceptable. Furthermore, to counter the inevitable apologetics regarding marriage being a religious institution, my answer, again, is that I don't care, by which I mean it's utterly irrelevant. When something is so heavily entwined in law like this it becomes a civil rights issue, regardless of the religious bigotries that oppose it (this is also why I oppose the part of the current proposal that says churches have the right to turn gay couples away -- they should only be able to do this if they're solely performing religious marriages with no legal involvement, which is as good as never the case).

Ok then so I as a hetrosexual am being discriminated against because laws state that civil partnerships are restricted to homosexuals, infact I'm going to push my sexuality onto those who don't share the same sexuality & ultimately concern by putting it out into the public domain and calling for a bill to be enacted allowing so.

Mr Cameron who is pushing for equality has made an unequality.
