I want nothing to do with marriage, I have no desire to be married or associate with something that divides and marginalises a community.
I also am a firm believer of equal rights (As opposed to 'special' rights which dick heads seem to think we are asking for), and believe firmly that the option of marriage should be made available to all human beings and laws should not discriminate religion, gender, sexuality or race when it comes to the union of 2 people who love each other.
Laws should only be in place for immoral behaviour and marriage should only be between 2 humans that are capable of consenting to sharing their lives together.
Conversely, this is the WHOLE point of "marriage equality", of things being EQUAL. A right that every adult human being has to be entitled to (and have the duties of) a union which benefits the pair in many many legal ways.
Is there still an UNDERAGE limit???
