Good on you Wendy, hang though, don't get married.

I believe marriage laws are discriminatory. I've always found it strange that churches will marry non-christian couples, people on the x marriage but not gays. As others have said, I would have thought that for the church to have any valid point it would only marry Christians.

On the thread closure, I think chockstone is a community (much like the church) and those who want to participate (much like getting married) need abide by the community expectations and the rules. If you don't want to follow the rules then don't join the club.

As a member of this community, I PM'd the mods suggesting a course of action regarding Phil's post, if you count yourself as part of a community then you speak up when difficult issues arise. They chose another route - which is cool. We can't change Phil's opinions but we can let him know what the community expectations are when he posts on chockstone, just like society can tell us how we need to behave if want to get married. Of course, these things can change and should be open to debate.

btw, not sure if this post makes sense!
