Some-sex marriages

Now that I'm home spending a lot of time watching the TV etc I've decided it was about time that somebody addressed the issue of some-sex marriages.


Just to give you a bit of history on the topic:

The Netherlands was the first modern nation to legalize some-sex marriage in 2001. Some-sex marriages are also legal in Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway and Sweden. In Nepal, their authorization has been judicially mandated but not yet legislated. In the United States, couples can marry in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa, but their some-sex unions are not recognized nationally. From June 2008 until November 2008, California also authorized some-sex marriages, until voters enacted Proposition 8, which banned some-sex marriage.


What exactly is the world coming to when we have to have laws like this. It should be a right for everyone that decides to get married to be allowed some-sex. I take my hat off to these countries and states that have decided to legalise some-sex marriages and to put an end to a history of prejudice in which married couples were not allowed to have sex.


I think everyone should be allowed to become involved in some-sex marriages. Without them we will have a world of illegitimate children, born out of wedlock. Is this what we really want? Countries full of bastards? I mean having a parliament full of them is hard enough!
