“I have to get a dress, I have to set a date, I have to get a divorce.”
I don’t care what Lisa does that is her business, whatever makes her happy, her choices are up to her, this is not meant to be a comment on her... I personally think that it doesn't matter how many times a person gets married, as it is only the concern of that person and who ever it is they marry... but, for all those people who argue that it is an institution too sacred to change... clearly it is a sacred institution?
Next!
How can gay people getting married make it any less sacred than the straights are making it? I don't want to get married, I think it is an out dated institution, but thats just me. But, apparently, some of the gays do want to get married. And there is still no reason why they shouldn't get married. Gays getting married would do what to marriage? Seriously? Change the act.
That is, of course, change the act back. In 2004, when it was discovered that the Marriage Act didn't, actually, specify that marriage was between a man and a woman, the conservative government of the day changed the Marriage Act with in 24 hours of that realisation, let us not forget that. We should all remember this fact. There was no fuss, not much discussion and no hesitation when they did that, so there has already been a precedent set, if you like, in their ability to change the Marriage Act when they want to. That was when we had a christian Prime Minister who didn't want gay marriage and a progressive opposition who didn't think there were votes in not changing the act. This, of course, makes the current situation even more laughable.
