El Cid   212 #435 Posted July 17, 2013 The problem is is that we've allowed religious institutions to claim dominion over marriage, when actually marriage doesn't have religious origins.  The meanings have and will change, but the "need for assurance as to paternity of his children" is the first line from wikipedia.  We now seem to be moving towards marriage as a right, and a show of 'love'.

Rupert_Baehr   10 #436 Posted July 17, 2013 I am an heterosexual male married to an heterosexual female and we have an heterosexual son who has two children of his own.  I've no idea whether my grandchildren will be heterosexual or homosexual, no interest and anyway, it's none of my bloody business!  They're my grndchildren - not your playthings.
