SSM Plebiscite

[mateinone]

The debate needs to be initiated by those who want that type of relationship. If they believe they have a case, I'd really like to hear it, to start the process. The process won't get started by straight couples, or gay couples, or anyone else.

Why does it need to be initiated by any specific people Paul?
It is 100% valid in the context of the current discussion.
In bold, what you are saying is that YOU would like to hear the argument if people have a case and to have open discussion/debate on it...
However you don't want others to be able to have open discussion on SSM.

Here is the thing...
We are talking hypothetical consensual relationships between 2 or more adults.

How can you be ready to listen to debate if it is started in one case, but be SO SURE that those who want to debate or have a different opinion that yours are SO WRONG and have NO RIGHTS?

C'mon Paul, this is pretty straight forward stuff, we are not actually discussing whether there should be polygamous marriage or incestuous relationships. We are talking about the fact that we do as individuals and as society have views on what relationships we find to be acceptable as well as what we consider marriage to constitute.

So explain why people on the NO side have no right to their opinion and to wanting this to be an open discussion.
