People are free to discuss any other issues that they wish, any time.
There are critical issues bound up with marriage, including property rights and taxation.

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Re: Any guy wanna marry me..we can now!?
Look, sandinista, perhaps we're talking at cross-purposes. I agree that the idiots in government who opposed gay marriage ought not to be congratulated too heartily for finally doing the right thing. It's way past time they did. I don't think anyone is proposing that we laud them with praise.
The point is, though, that this legal decision is not just symbolic; it has real import and affects many in serious material ways.
Celebrating an important legal victory that will change people's lives for the better is not the same as praising the dinosaurs who finally made the decision and patting them on the back.

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Re: Any guy wanna marry me..we can now!?
At least the children of tomorrow will grow up with gays happily parading their marriage in society. We can hope they will grow up accepting it and being more tolerant thus ending homophobia or at least massively reducing it. Hurray for equality! Hurray for communism!

Re: Gay Marriage In The UK
Technically not Gay Marriage In The UK, but gay marriage in England and Wales. Scotland has a completely different process and legal system and is going down a different route (to achieve something roughly comparable-ish) and as for Northern Ireland ... well, hell will freeze over before such depravity shall be allowed, apparently.

Progress takes time, it doesn't happen over night. This is a good thing. Be happy for the gays!

Re: Gay Marriage In The UK
Is there anywhere you can find out with MPs voted which way (or failed to turn-up for the vote)?
Also; would it be legal for the two gay threads to marry..? http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=42126
