I was genuinely happy for this move to legalize gay unions. Now, I'm not a fan of marriage full stop, be it woman-woman. man-woman, man-man whatever, but it just confers legal rights and it will stop the crazy legal situation where a gay partner can be shunted to the margins, and overriden by his partners blood family upon his death. What annoyed me when watching this lesbian union in the north, was the anger directed at them by the religious ( and more than likely repressed gay) bigots.

Thankfully their power and influence is on the wane, and when you hear the pent up anger they have, against those who refuse to live the repressed lives they lead, you can't help but say "good riddance" to those who share in that particular mindset. Really, those zealots are like the classroom bully who constantly picks on the effeminate classmate, trying to over emphasize their supposed straightness, and then years later that former classmate, whose school days were so traumatized, bumps into their assailant in a gay club. This is well documented.

Thankfully we are coming into what I call a post god age, where people can't shelter anymore behind old philosophies and doctrines. As far as sexuality goes, we all have one ( whether we express it or not), your into guys, girls or both. Its a part of your makeup , like the colour of your eyes. There is usually no great epiphany or dramatic realisation when it comes to sexauality, and certainly not so much of a choice issue. As if somone would choose to be part of a hated and persecuted minority. There is so much nonsense around this issue.
