Recently there have been talks about civil partnerships being offered to hetrosexual couples, and there are people opposed to the view. Marriage has long been an oath made under the eyes of a deity. To remain commited and true to one person. These views though are also shared with those who aren't of faith.

I am speaking on behalf of myself here, but I for one support this decision. Love shouldn't be exclusive to those who are hetrosexual or to those who have faith, If I want to marry, I want to have the choice to be an equal to my male or female partner, I want to have the choice to be able to express my love for another person, and show my commitment in any which way I chose.

My sexuality in this is irrelevant. I have a male partner, but I'm not with him because of this. I'm with him because I love him. His moral fibre and ethics are what attract me to him. I would support him if he wanted to change to a female. I'd still love him if he were a female. Gender to me is a tick box on a birth certificate. It plays no part in my decision to be with someone, and I'm fed up of being told what I can and can't do as someone who loves and shows commitment to another.

It's about time we were taken as people, that politics and morals were brought up to date to suit the times. Society appears to move faster than those in parliament. Stop holding us back. There is such a thing as honour and respect outside of faith. I'm not asking for the downfall of democracy. I understand why it exists and agree we need it. When it comes to love though, you shouldn't stop it. When so many are criticised for not standing by their responsibilities, there should be some support and praise for those who have and do.
