Rugby League family, I need your help. Recently, I've been heavily involved with a campaign called the Coalition For Marriage (C4M). This campaign seeks to preserve and protect the definition of marriage which has served mankind well since year dot (the Garden). You will no doubt have heard certain noisy parties in the media declaring their support for an alternative definition of marriage. I respectfully submit that such a reclassification would have a profoundly negative impact on society. If you are interested in hearing more, or if you are willing to help, please visit: c4m.org.uk When you visit the site you can sign the petition and show your support for the existing definition of marriage. Thanks

I won't be signing your petition. I'm a happily married hetrosexual female but I am not so bigoted as to believe that two people who are in love and are comitted to each other shouldn't marry because they are of the same sex. They are human beings, same as me, same as you and who am I to oppose two people in love? IMO the sanctity of marriage is about love, friendship, companionship, commitment, compromise and respect no matter what your sexuality.

HTH

Sign that ? Not a chance in hell. Marriage should be open to all who want to and not be stuck to an age old belief that only a man and woman can marry.

I reckon the OP might be targeting the wrong demographic with the 'rugby league community', they are mainly lefties, trade unionists on here, they believe in equality and human rights and all that crap.

Go on a rugby union forum for Mr and Mrs Angry of Tunbridge Wells and you'll get more support for your campaign.

Just read the passage quoted.

I have.

Not a nice quote.

Mitt Romney, is that you??

FWIW, the human definition of marriage is a kinship between two people.. but thanks to the OP for the ridiculous proposal - it made me laugh.

I didn't write it, I don't believe it.

Well, I've signed it. Can't have those filthy faggots ruining the great institution of marriage for people like Britney Spears and Katie Price.

Perhaps marriage should be abolished for all?

What a brilliant swear filter moment.

Don't forget that bastion of the conservative religious right, recent presidential candidate and 4 times wed Mr Newt Gingrich.

And also Rush Limbaugh.

On another note I find it ridiculous that these homophobic organisations such as Coalition for Marriage and The US based National Organization for Marriage claim to be "defending" marriage when in reality they are simply preventing other individuals from having the right to get married. In american states which do not have civil partnerships gay couples are denied things such as visitiation rights and other benefits that straight couples are entitled which is an absolute disgrace.

It also annoys me when these bigots fall back on the argument that they are merely opposed the the redefinition of the term "marriage". The fact that individuals who are vocal in their opposition to "redefining marriage" are often also opposed civil partnerships and other laws granting equality to gay peoples would suggest that arguments about "redefining marriage" are merely a red herring and that their opposition to gay marriage is a result of bigotry, which is often based on an individuals religious beliefs.

I'd also argue that if you hold that marriage is the gold standard when it comes to relationships as many conservatives do then surely it makes sense that you should be encouraging gay people to get married rather than preventing them from doing so as many conservatives are attempting to do.

Is this a joke?

Didn't ask for grief guys, or a debate, I just wanted to promote a campaign which is close to my heart.

I know you didn't and that you don't just like me.

A campaign that no-one here is interested in apart from you ? Marriage should be for all and not just between man and woman.

Think someone might be on a fishing expedition.
