"hidden agenda" - got to love it.

My unhidden agenda is that two people who love each other should be granted the same rights as everyone else - not extra rights, the same rights.

I have straight friends, I have gay friends, and I have attended my straight friends wedding ceremonies, and my gay friends civil partnership ceremonies - I just want them to have the same choices.

I am sorry to hear that you have been hurt in the past, but women have been hurt in the past (and men and women still are being hurt) - that doesn't stop heterosexual marriages continuing, why should it be a reason for homosexual marriages not to happen? You appear to be using the fact that someone hurt you to castigate an entire group of people, 99.99% of whom would not act that way, imho.

btw "openly gay"? Why the hell shouldn't someone be "openly gay" - it's nothing to hide, it's just who they are; it's like saying someone is "openly black" or "openly British" or "openly straight".
