					<description><![CDATA[@Lupin, Marriage is for a man and a woman simply because it is defined that way in the law and in religion, both of which are human creations. It is merely a formalised institutional relationship between one human and another. 

Marriage is a socio-cultural tradition that is not immutable or a brute fact like the planet beneath our feet. Love can exist without marriage but marriage does not last without love; and love is a gender free concept.

Also, do you think that gays do not suffer loneliness, failed relationships, death of partners and so on? Don&#039;t you think that everyone would be better off with gay people adopting so many thousands of abandoned children? 

The only reason we reject these seemingly absurd notions is because it is against God&#039;s teaching. And who is this God anyway? Didn&#039;t we create him and fashion him to fit our own self interested purposes?

Finally, who are we heterosexuals to dictate what homosexual brothers and sisters should or shouldn&#039;t do? Don&#039;t we all have a right to formalise our unions with those we are in love with?]]></description>

Separate but equal = Apartheid. 

Besides, whether or not equal marriage ever lands in Malta, I don&#039;t think there is much chance that anyone will force you to marry another person of the same sex as you, just as no one can force you to marry a short fat person, or a person of another race, or a person whose hair is dyed bright vermillion.]]></description>

I resent the protraying of Labour supporters as criminals or as having a strong streak of anti-social behaviour. 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You need some lessons in logic. What&#039;s the difference between these two statements? Anti-social people tend to vote Labour. All people who vote Labour are anti-social.]&lt;/strong&gt;

This reminds me of Nazi propaganda against Jews who were also considered as being criminals by birth. When you use such arguments you cannot possibly call the PL racist because you will be outshining them at this.

I can  assure you that criminal and anti-social behaviour can be found throughout the political spectrum.]]></description>
