UK has finally declared gay marriage legal. come and celebrate with me another victory against bigotry.

Little bit longer for us to over come our biggots. Soon though..soon.

That makes me so happy. When I think how far the UK has come in the horrific history of the gay population, I am ecstatic! I hope the spirits of the past can see this and know they did not die in vain.

you mean people like Oscar WIlde?

No, I mean tragic people long before Oscar Wilde. At least Oscar Wilde managed to get off with his life after surviving two years of hard labor. I'm talking about the ones that were disemboweled, hanged and burned at the stake.

yes, those were indeed the dark ages...the Victorians weren't much better though. Oscar Wilde survived - a broken man.
did you read 'de profundis'?

No I haven't, but thank you for telling me. I will look for it on Amazon. I saw this movie just called "Wilde" and Jude Law played his lover Bozie." My God, that guy was beautiful in that movie.

you can download it for free on Amazon. yep, I saw the movie too, a couple of times. great film!

Thank you, Hippycat! I will do that.

I think the UK was way ahead of the U.S.in acceptance.

YAY FOR THE UK!!!! Enjoy your equal rights. That's the way it should be!

Thank you!

Good for them!

I'm glad to hear it. I love the UK, and now I have another reason to love it even more.

good luck to gay people. they have the right to be happy with theri choice of partner. if they are both unnatached consented adults then what the hell is the problem?

it has sweet FA to do with 'another victory against bigotry', as is so naively and childishly suggested in this question. What it DOES have to do with, however, is the relentless drive by the homosexual/lesbian lobby to try to convince the rest of us of the 'normality' of their proclivites.
This latest development where 'marriage' has now been effectively re-defined to encompass
same sex as well as the centuries old heterosexual one, universally and throughout all cultures
understood and accepted, is just another piece of 'Alice in Wonderland' type of legislation drawn up by a pathetic PC obssessed government in a desperate attempt to curry favour and win votes from the so called 'pink electorate'.In so doing, they may very well find out to their cost, that the relatively few extra votes they garner in this way will be inevitably out-weighed by the very much
larger number they LOSE from the many, many people who they alienate by this Mickey Mouse
legislation...

Wah wah wah...

Exactly...

and Wah!

gosh, you are talking out of your backside.

it was legislated by a conservative government with a vast majority (404:175). in fact, 25% of Tory (that is conservative to you) voters said they would make their cross elsewhere if the Tories went ahead....they did anyhow. more guts than I gave them credit for.

you really should get your facts straight before you post anything at all.

oh, RAy, now really! your 'facts' are wishful thinking and I have just proven it to you. and all you can do is block....that humour bypass operation you had needs to be done again. LOL!

If I am talking out of my 'backside' then that part of my anatomy has certainly a lot more sense and intelligence in it than that 'part' of you that we shall laughingly describe as a 'brain' !
I am well aware of the 'facts'-- .-something that you are obviously in abysmal ignorance of-so i suggest you confine your own posts to YOUR nether regions

Yeah! It's about time!

Human rights FTW!

makes me hurl

why not be honest and click 'you all end up in hell' that's closest to what you're thinking, isn't it.?

nope...not my job to say where people will go; except for pedophiles

Good, after centuries of persecuting gay people , I hope you puke your guts out.

not me Chico..you got the wrong; non-caring guy in the crowd

And I quote, " makes me hurl".

it does..but to use the word "persecute" them?
you are on another dimension Chico

Yeah........go live as gay for ONE week. You'll change your tune fast.

on his keyboard.

Congratulations to the UK and most of civilized Europe. You would think America would be first in equality. Unfortunately, the Tea Party religious freaks and nuts are standing in the way....temporarily. They won't be around much longer with an 8% approval rating.

I think they are close to extinction....they are getting so noisy which is always a sign of desperation; death throes of a dying movement ;)

I'd like to help them out with a little arsenic in their tea.

LOL ;)

The UK was way ahead of us in abolishing slavery, too.

These days, I think the entire world is ahead of us on just about every thing. Way too many Tea Tards gumming up the works.

don't give them more credit than they are due.

They're only a temporary stain on humanity. They'll be washed out in the laundry next year.
