Uh, thanks, but I missed the part where ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese supposedly practiced same-sex "marriage".

Try again.

And the whole country should be organized around what you want.

Actually, since you start so many anti gay threads, I would say that it is YOU that wants everything organized the way YOU want it...It's not going to happen...Same sex marriage will be coming to your country soon.

I suppose you would rather ignore the tradition of same sex marriage, right?.....Same sex marriage was practiced in China during the Ming dynasty beginning in 1368.

The first historical mention of the performance of same-sex marriages occurred during the early Roman Empire. Emperor Nero is reported to have engaged in a marriage ceremony with one of his male slaves.

A same-sex marriage between the two men Pedro Díaz and Muño Vandilaz in the Galician municipality of Rairiz de Veiga in Spain occurred on 16 April 1061. They were married by a priest at a small chapel. The historic documents about the church wedding were found at Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova.

It has always been "A", and there is no reason to change it.

Personally, I think some who starts alot of gay bashing threads, might feel threatened sexually by thoughts they can't come to terms with....such as repressed homosexual desires....

Because, the average straight person does not give alot of thought to the actions of a gay person.

If your point is to support same-sex marriage you need to find a different link, nothing in this one does. Matter of fact, it appears to do the opposite.
