found this fascinating survey on another forum with an interesting discussion: Sex uncovered poll: Homosexuality | Life and style | The Observer
some quotes: "Same sex marriage has been legal in the UK since 2005 , but 45 per cent of Britons still feel that gay couples should not be allowed to get married."
"(37 per cent) of those aged 16-24 also oppose it."
"many Britons still vehemently oppose homosexuality. Fifty-six per cent of the population currently believe that homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt children"
"Most striking of all, almost one in four Britons (24 per cent) believe that homosexual sex should be made illegal."
All hail Britons modernity
hehehe
*at least Americans can put our blame on pathetically, deeply religiousness voters but what will Britons blame their neighbors opinions on?
I found this remark on that forum very current:
"I reckon Obama doesn't support gay marriage because he recognises it's only a religious ceremony that has decreasing and dying relevance in the modern World.
"Marriage" is being replaced with legal and civil rights. A contract in law.
"Marriage" is being phased out as a necessary concept in society.
"Marriage" will soon be seen as an expensive, unnecessary, archaic and out-of-date practice.
"Marriage" will be relegated to those few religious diehards that fail to accept the New World Order of society and civic relationships."

I have found most of this conversation very educating but the boldest of statements concerning a huge nation that maybe the commentator has neither visited or lived in rather startling. I lived in Japan for 10 years and would not dare make such bold statements of Japan as some have been made from watching a few news pieces from the BBC...
I knew my lame attempt at humor wouldnt be understood but the USA did do away with the Royal Family rule of the USA - wasnt that the point of the Boston Tea Party?
also, I wasnt suggesting that Vaz was a likely candidate for Prime Minister but just the fact that he was one of only 14 ethnic minority MPs in a parliament with 646 seats. According to the last census taken in 2001, some seven percent of Britain's 60-million population are ethnic minorities, which would translate to more than 45 parliamentary seats.
