Closed Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill (HC Bill 126). Opposition of this bill.

Closed on

Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill (HC Bill 126)

The majority of people are heterosexual in the world. Marriage has always meant the union of the opposite sexes. To allow its use for any other purpose, thus diluting its meaning, is to infringe heterosexuals' civil liberty. It would redefine, after the event, the contracts into which already-married couples have entered.

We, the people, oppose this bill.
