Unscheduled but VERY IMPORTANT!

Ok, so I know I only posted earlier today, but a news article has appeared on the BBC website that ties together the first two posts on this blog (believe it or not), and is THE BIGGEST AMOUNT OF BULLS**T THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO COME ACROSS IN MY LIFE.

"WHAT THE F**K DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?" you might be asking yourself. Well here's a link to the story.

I know we said "no politics", but this utterly astounded me and I felt I had to share it.

The Controversial One: Gay Marriage

So I was talking to Jenni and we thought that we'd start with a bang, so here it is: my views on same-sex marriage.


Most of you will be aware that "same-sex marriage" or "gay marriage" has been a frequently discussed issue recently, and as a result has been "legalised" in 16 countries including the UK, Belgium, Canada, Denmark and South Africa, as well as in 16 US states, which is a start, but not where we want to be at this stage. Homosexuality is still punishable by death in far too many countries.

So that was the facts. Now time for the rant.

I don't understand why people have an issue with same-sex marriage. They can say that 'marriage is a religious ceremony' or that it 'diminishes the role of the Church', but that doesn't stop thousands if not millions of un-religious heterosexual marriages taking place across the world - my parents got married in a registry office.

People who say that "homosexuality is a sin because it says it in the Bible' need to go and read the Bible again. Leviticus also condones slavery. Make of that what you will.
