What are my views on homosexuality? I don't have any and consider there to be far more important matters to be worried about in life.
At work we are all to carry our ID cards with us and a few months ago I found the card of one of my colleagues near a wash basin in the toilets. I sent a jokey department-wide email saying if the guy would make the tea for the rest of the day I'd return the card that I'd found in the toilets.
Later his team manager dropped by and I gave it to him to pass on to it's owner. The manager did a bit of an embarrassed smirk regarding my comment that the ID badge "of a gay man" being found in the toilets. I gave some sort of joke response but a) I had no idea he was gay b) it's not something I care about or try to analyse when I meet someone and c)...there is no 'c'. His sexual preferences are as irrelevant to me as the colour of his hair, his favourite food etc
In terms of someone's preferences, if it ever did become a public matter I consider monogamy and loyalty far more important than who a person is attracted to.

Objectively speaking do you really feel disadvantaged at that? Is there anything tangible you feel you've ever felt denied at not being allowed a civil partnership whilst being allowed to marry?
This reminds me of the pre-Obama days, Chris Rock did this routine where a white guy said to him "It's not fair, black people can say N***er, if we say it we'd get arrested". Rock replied to him "Ok let's change things around. You can say N***er, we can change interest rates".
