And by a close second, they worship the god of greed. It will really be funny when he has to sell his body as a male prostitute to make ends meet (the end of his buttpipe and the end of another guys sex organ). And when he squeals more more harder harder faster faster, it will just be another acknowledgemnt that most of the real homophobes are gay people in the closet. Kinda like Jewish people who would work for hitler, though I doubt there were many. Somebody over there send him some lube. Laced with grinding compound.

I don't see any sort of gay advancement in this however. The place still won't be allowing gay marriages. Having an unacceptable place losing business is nice for moral, but I hope the couple (and other couples that would marry there) found another venue to take them on respectfully.

I'd say that depends on the beliefs. Hitler had beliefs, but I certainly wouldn't have respected him for them." That's a bit ridiculous as you can clearly see from his FULL post (not just a cherry-picked sentence) that he agrees with the decision. The fact that we still have an aristocracy in this county is ridiculous. Nothing personal against them as people, but being born into something and inheriting a load of land which their bully ancestors stole anyway, just seems wrong! This Earl should of obeyed the law and yes it is his own fault and it's the right decision, however I find it very hard to gloat at people having money worries.

He knew he would have his licence revoked if he didn't comply. I respect the man for his beliefs, however misplaced they may be, but he has to accept the consequences of taking such a standpoint. Incidentally, where in the Bible does it say "A man shall not marry a man"? - I see no reason why this matter would directly impose on the man's religious principles.
