Oh, theotherone, tell me is it ‘Eyeless in Gaza’ or ‘Clitless in Gaza’? I sure you will have the answer to that one, and with your erudition you will be able to tell me the source!

Neville judging by several comments from you on this news site previously, I imagine you would be voting for the Klu Klux Clan.

I can’t imagine the lib dems welcoming you with the sort of views you have expressed here

They are a spineless lot! None of them seem able to stand up to the religious bigots. Meanwhile, kids get bullied in schools and obvious gays get beaten up. None of them will get my vote!

“For all their faults least you know where you are with the Tories.”

Yes they’re a load of homophobes.

The vote yesterday was reminiscent of a vote on 25 July 2000, when the Labour Party abandoned their principles in delaying the repeal of Section 28. Then, too, the Lib Dems did the decent thing.

Neville – and most of Labour voted for it, please don’t leave the whole story here. Where was Gordon Brown you ought to ask as well. For all the badgering some of you give the Tories you make it look like Labour are perfect. Newsflash folks – They ain’t – There even worse! They suck you in, then spit you out.

For all their faults least you know where you are with the Tories.

Of course, as was expected, every single Tory MP present voted to retain amendment 70. Where was ‘Call me Dave’ with all his protestations about support for gays, and where was Nick Herbert who is trumpeting the prospect of new pro-gay laws? They were, of course, not present. Nor would we expect them to be, for they are not to be believed. The only party to which any credence can be given is the Liberal Democrats. We need people like David Laws, Evan Harris and Lord Lester.

23 Feb 2010 : Column 258. (question after amendment 70 was passed)

Mr. Laws: Will the Minister clarify, in the light of amendment 70, which has been passed today, whether it will be possible for faith schools to teach that homosexuality is wrong?

Note most of MPs who voted against are Lib Dems

Mr. Coaker: Such schools could say that that is the view of their particular religion, but what they will not be able to do is to state that that is the only view that exists. They will not be able to say that other religions do not have different views or that people of no faith do not have different views.

i think i will write a book which has quotes in it from torah, koran and bible, but change it slightly……

“and if a man be with a jew, it is abhorrent, they shall certainly be put to death.”

“if you meet a muslim then topple a wall onto them, and if they are not dead, then topple a wall onto them again until they are dead.”

“Even as the christians and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to religious speak, and going after strange ideas, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

it would probably be banned for being anti religious, inciting hatred, so why exactly these books of hate can even be published is beyond my comprehension.

HUMAN BEING + RELIGION = RETARDED SLAVE

Okay I have waited a whole 29 comment before saying this, BUT I told you so.

It was I don’t know how long ago that I explained how New Labour worked, everything calculated and traded off to maximise the vote from each section of society, equality legislation bought in just at the time they could tell us it was because they cared about us, and just at the right time to ensure they could tell the God botherers it was because they had to – Europe was forcing them. Everything a balancing to ensure that Labour was all things to all people.

Well, the gay vote has ebbed away a bit and therefore we don’t deserve the same attention, so romance over, we’re dumped.

Sorry girls, its never easy breaking up.

If its any consolation they don’t give to sh1ts about the God bothers either really. They will do to them what they have done too us.

Chocolate or ice cream is sometimes the best way to get over a messy breakup

The issue tends to suck a lot of….

Well up until this point I was prepared to vote Labour, better the devil you know and all that. However, I can no longer put my cross in the box next to the Labour candidate. I feel bad about that because he’s a good guy and a great MP but I cannot in good conscience vote for a party that would do this. Likely to be Lib Dems for me because Greens aren’t standing in my constituency.

Just feel so disappointed and hurt by this.
