    If the yes camp had gone about their business in a nice way, instead of beating the door down and screaming for rights that they're not actually entitled to, I might have considered allowing them their wish. Instead, they've done their cause a lot of damage, in my opinion.

    People who vote no are just a bunch of bigots. I feel sorry for Republicans & other progressive minded people in the North stuck in DUP hateland. Loyalists bang on about how British they are yet don't do anything the vast majority of normal British people do. Harold Wilson was right there just a bunch of spongers.

    I don't know where you live but nobody beat my door down or screamed at me for rights.

    Not this **** again.

    You would in your hole have voted yes. You even say it in the post.

    It's a bit like someone eating pedigree chum from Monday to Saturday and then leaving the table on Sunday because his fillet mignon is slightly overdone.

    More like being moved from a small, cramped cage to a bigger one and complaining that you're still in a cage.

    It was the Romans according to Joseph Atwill. And his theory seems to be the most plausible imo.

    Good attitude you have there, surely it will make no voters and fence sitters decide to vote yes

    Your talking about your fellow human being here, people in your community, in your job....probably in your family or circle of friends. Have a bit of respect.

    you don't have to go cap an hand for a vote for get it free go use it, no need to ask anyone else for their vote if you don't want to

    Gay people in this country are asking to be allowed to get married. They will have to get permission from the majority of voters, and are being told that they cant have it because they haven't asked nice enough.

    what, like the "I would have voted yes, but I don't like the tone of these people asking for rights they shouldn't get" people? They aren't fooling anyone.

    I think people on both sides have done damage to their respective campaigns but our votes aren't a prize for the best run campaign or the cleanest fighter in the ring. We have to vote on facts and according to or consciences based on the issues. I hope no one will be silly enough to allow how campaigns are run to influence them, the lives of men women and children are depending on us here.

    ALL children in fairness.

    Including those children whose parents are in same sex relationships who are currently denied certain rights and protections because of their sex.

    So the no campaign talking about kids in families are justified

    Not when they say that it's damaging to kids if you vote Yes. It still doesn't make the referendum about children.

    But you just said it was about the future of all kids, you are saying it will damage kids if you vote no, you can't have it both ways kids are relevant or they are not.

    It may be how he feels but it is not what the Constitution says

    ARTICLE 40

    1 All citizens shall, as human persons, be held equal before the law.



    If all citizens are held equal before the law then homosexuals are entitled to access the same protections for their families as heterosexuals. The Constitution does not actually state marriage is between a man and a woman but by having a Referendum it removes the possibility of a legal challenge to it's introduction.

    You support polygamous marraige? Most here have said no and are also determined to keep a section of society as second class

    Please stop trying to twist my words. The referendum will affect current children. However, the referendum is not about them.

    Most of the people I've encountered that are saying there going to vote 'No' because of the bullying 'Yes' campaign were going to vote No anyway. They are just looking for an excuse to vote 'No'.
