Making that assumption completely denies any sense you could make about the question.
Because it is a pointless law. Parliament spent so long debating the issue - when they could have been debating the economy, the EUSSR - knowing that it is a pointless piece of legislation which the country is hardly crying out for.
No, it isn't. Legalising gay marriage is no less absurd than legalising sibling marriage.
What if somebody appealed to the government for a person to marry their own mother? Would the government pass legislation for that, too?
Only in the narrow little minds of the ignorant.
Why introduce it when most people are against it and hardly anybody wants it? Maybe it's because they are so out-of-touch with public feeling on the issue.
Oh yes, and it was said in all seriousness.
Saying you choose not be gay is bull. I doubt Walter's ever had any inclination to be anything but straight. And if he has, not acting on it doesn't magically make him heterosexual.

Gay marriage debacle shows how governing elite of all parties are out of touch with the rest of the country

More than half a million people have signed the petition opposing gay marriage.
On Sunday, a ComRes poll of MPs found that the issue comfortably topped their postbags and emails and that three in four of their correspondents were opposed to it or strongly opposed.
Tens of thousands more have responded to the Home Office consultation on redefining a human institution that has been us since the dawn of time. As one wag put it: 'It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.'
'Arrogant posh boys': Prime Minister David Cameron, left, and Chancellor George Osborne, right, are out of touch with the public
Gay marriage divides the public, most of whom have better things to worry about. More to the point, it is anathema to many people - social conservatives - who feel we play with the building blocks of human society at our peril.
But this is not the view of the governing elite. The leaders of all three main parties support gay marriage. Almost all Labour MPs and Lib Dems back it. The only debate is inside the Conservative Party. If same sex marriage comes to a vote in the Commons, the elite will have its way.
It is a commonplace to observe that the 'arrogant posh boys' in Downing Street, Dave and George, are out of touch with the public.
But that does not just apply to gay marriage. Take some other key controversies. The public wants tough controls on immigration and Dave promised to reduce it from its current 250,000 a year to tens of thousands.
At the weekend, against the background of unchanged immigration levels two years later, Home Secretary Theresa May took time out from making her gay marriage video to observe that work in this area is ongoing.
Don't hold your breath. The governing elite does not want to reduce immigration. Where would they get their nannies, cleaners and chauffeurs from?
Take Europe. Two people in three want a referendum on British membership of the EU. The governing elite does not want a referendum (of the leaders of the four biggest parties only UKIP's Nigel Farage is crying out for one). Barring a political earthquake, we won't get one.
Controversial: Gay marriage is anathema to many people who feel we play with the building blocks of human society at our peril
Events have killed off the elite's enthusisam for abolishing the pound and joining the euro. Its more notable supporters once included Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson (the former Labour MP for Hartlepool), Kenneth Clarke (the Tory MP for Rushcliffe), Chris Patten (the Chairman of the BBC Trust and the last governor of Hong Kong), Michael Heseltine (Deputy Prime Minister 1995-1997) and every Lib Dem leader you care to think of. But it has taken the biggest financial crisis in Europe for 60 years to shut them up.
The public wants the Government to repudiate the European Court of Human Rights so that we can regain the right to govern ourselves and deport foreign terrorists with murderous intent. The elite says No.
Take a string of other things. The public wants grammar schools, firm discipline in schools, an end to spend, tax and borrow economics, proper protection for our troops fighting foreign wars, longer sentences for criminals and an end to liberal measures like early release. It has wanted the return of capital punishment for more than 30 years. The elite says No.
The public believe that welfare should not be an alternative to work. The elite, nervous of appearing nasty, presides over an unaffordable £100 billion plus system of handouts that enables unemployed families to live in mansions that the grafters can only dream of.
It has taken Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith (not an elite politician) to bring some sense to this madness with his housing benefit and welfare caps.

Ah I see that folks are back with another chorus of "something has happened that doesn't affect my life directly in the slightest and is actually none of my business,but I don't like it so I must protest loudly and make a complete jackass of myself".
Honestly I wish bigotry was treated the same way as bigots treat others. Let them heft that ridicule and derision around for a while. In facts, let's go ahead treat them that way.
Freaking idiots.

It's pointless for those it doesn't effect. It is far from pointless for those that are now allowed the same rights as hetro's.
More stupidity from the terminally stupid.
Last time I checked, the main reason for the government not allowing marriage between close relatives is genetic. Something Homosexuals really don't have to worry about.
It doesn't matter, it's called protecting rights.
Since it was just a waste of time and affects almost nobody, I guess we should just lay the issue to rest. Same-sex marriage is legal now. Parliament shouldn't waste time revisiting that law. Let's move on to the economy.
Attagirl, keep denying science.
lol It's just pointless for you and people like you.
Apparently it has affected you and anyone else who objects as loudly, though.
Evidence? Links? Something to support this claim?
Prince George was at least bisexual, popular opinion that Richard the Lionheart was gay, as well as George III or IV (can't remember which), James I, Edward II, etc.
Homosexual marriage makes you "feel good"? Good on ya, Walnut!
lol Not natural? As far back as anyone can tell, homosexuality has been around in about 2% of the planet's population. So I guess you think the left-handed people in the world (about 9%) are also unnatural, along with the less than 4% that are red-headed. Also, those people that give birth to 3 or more babies at a time.
So it's done. You and legislators can get on with life and more important things and quit moaning and sniveling now, right?
Seems more likely you'd like to marry your computer.
That's not everyone's opinion; just yours.
Evidence?
and ignore science
Do you chose to be straight? I don't recall making a conscious choice on my orientation.
Nice to see the UK joining the club.
