even though i'm an athiest, i always took the stance, marrige is a christian constitution and the bible specificly denies the coupling of same-sex persons, therefore i was in support of same-sex civil partnerships, but not marriage.. but having watched this, it's really hit home, to stop being pedantic, allowing samesex marriage is about just making the playing field level for everyone. i always wondered why it needed to be marriage, why partnership isnt enough, then this just opened my eyes.

It's sad that little things like sexual orientation or gender identity can prevent one from marrying another consenting adult. It really is.

@MrFubbels marrige is not a christian constiturìtion !!!! Ancient Romans used to do "confarreatio"....a marriage!

@carthag partnership what we have now is basically co habitation they recognise your a couple and give you an extra 1298 legal rights but with marriage the same and hetrosexual marriage you get an extra 7865 legal rights and they extend from adoption to your spouse being able to decide your funeral partnership is sorta regcogniseing your dating something straight people cant get and marriage something gay people cant get! Its very confusingbut basically means some rights but 6000 less den mariag

@MrFubbels MarriAge is a Christian consitiution? I'm sure you mean institution! Anyway, it isn't just a Christian institution - what a ridiculous thing to say. You must have never heard of civil marriages, nor other non-Christian marriages. As for the Bible argument, why should it be held as an authority over societies that are essentially secular but accepting of religious freedom? Besides, the Sodom part of the Bible has always been disputed by Christians as to its exact meaning.

if marriage is a Christian constitution then why do other people from other religions or non religious get married in many different ways and are accepted as a married couple everywhere by everyone but once it is a same sex marriage then it isn't recognized? it is like that lady who lost her partner when the stage in an Indiana concert collapsed. they aren't considered a couple in a civil union even though they were in another state in the same damn country.

@MrFubbels i was just about to ask you what the difference between a marriage and a partnership was, but youre amazing so its all good

That's a great video. I love pointing out the ridiculousness of having people vote on civil rights. The Irish Gaelic part was the cherry on top.

Love the number of likes over dislikes. Says alot about what people believe. Why is this not a past issue yet?
