I just love the neologism in here - Heterophobic!

Technically, it is just as bollocks as the word 'homophobic'.

Homophobic literally means "fear of the same thing", whereas heterophobic means "fear of something else".

If God had intended for men and women to be together, he wouldn't have invented civil unions!

They just don't get it. Equal Rights are EQUAL. Fuckin' "Job's Worths".

I have fear of both of those words - what's the word for that?

Of course Peter Tatchell had to get involved. I hate that cunt, one of those activists who sees everything as a personal affront to their chosen cause

This is funny - it seems that there actually ARE some things were central Europe is ahead of UK - we entered a civil relationship without seeing a priest in site and as far as I have known we both are (still) of different sex. However homosexuals here don't have such rights, in fact any (special) rights so we're basically even.

But is your civil relationship actually a marriage? That is perfectly possible in most countries, including the US and the UK. The church thing is just a money-grabbing exercise by the bastards - all you need to get married is a registrar and two witnesses, pay the fee and sign the book.

It is - here there are two possibilities - either church or civil wedding, and they both measure equally apart from the fact that for the church wedding you need to pass a month course (each day, every day) of priests teaching you about the things they know nothing about. When communism was still actual the church marriage was not valid so couples had to do both in order to make it legal.

You have to do that here as well as far as I know. For most couples, it's only because they need a church wedding to help "prove" that they are Catholics, so that their children can get into the Catholic-controlled primary schools.

[Beelzebub2]

Here 99% of schools are state schools which means that religion is not forced, but is expected, especially after the fall of communism. Before that religious classes were forbidden, now they are almost obligatory.

Here you get (socially) ostracised unless you do it proper way - i.e. (in most cases) Catholic way - that is if you care about such matters.

I hope they win their case, as that will probably force the government to allow gay marriage, exactly what they were trying to avoid when they created civil partnerships. The Daily Mail will be up in arms.
