A "right of passage" for our ruling classes over the centuries, thankfully.
Most British PM's have "fagged" in their youth, a necessary step up to being able to serve the multitude

Re: Same Sex Marriages.
Is promotiing homosexuality like promoting drug legalisation???
In that there are people that think it's their right to be able to take drugs!
Just like some think it's their right to be homosexual and openly be homosexual!
Many say that people can't be encouraged to be gay, I think that some people can be encouraged to be gay - can some be encouraged to take drugs?
It's all choice!

Seems like your logic came out of a Crackerjack box ... What is this promoting homosexuality thing you are talking about ... I haven't seen any ads, or read any promotional literature. None of this post makes any sense whatsoever. Taking drugs is a choice ... I smoke dope every day; on occasion, I'll snort a couple of lines. Being homosexual ain't a choice. Nor is it a sin ... or a crime. You seem to be real uptight about the drug thing ... smoke a couple of doobies; listen to some Brewer and Shipley; and chill out.

You don't know that every gay person hasn't made a choice - how can you know? I am saying that some I think may chose it or play with it. Both David Bowie and Marc Bolan toyed with being gay but both married women in the end. So where they not making choices about sexuality when it suited them?
It seems we have to believe that being Gay is not a choice - it's what we are forced to believe and it's not acceptable to question this.

Don't we all make choices about sexuality ... in the sense of what we enjoy in intimate personal realtionships. I suggest that there are about 7 billion sexual orientations on the planet ... and for the rest of the universe the mind boggles But I sense that you are arguing on an "us" and "them" basis.
Come to think of it, I don't think that there are choices about sexuality ... you play with the hand you were dealt.

No its not choice, homosexuality isn't a life choice is something mapped out for you at birth, a teenager doesn't wake up one morning and say oh I've decided I'm going to be gay, your either gay or your not end of story, unlike taking drugs that is a choice a very bad choice

Wise words indeed, like these of Alan Bennet when asked about his own sexuality he replied:
"That's a bit like asking a man crawling across he Sahara whether he would prefer Perrier or Malvern water".
If you've ever been really thirsty...

I think that's the limit to which many homophobic people think gay people should restrict their love life, Eric!

I still find it weird.

There's nowt as queer as folk.
I suppose that also applies to Tory politicans too.

Which is more or less what I tried to say by introducing this poll, though agree that the questions should have been limited to agree/disagree. Now it looks like Cameron has another cross to bear with his fund raising underling having put both his feet in it.

I can't help but think that you make comments purely to be controversial and stir people up on this website and not because you really believe what you are saying, which is why I have said before that you have a hidden agenda.
