I hate starting off the week with a sort of, not depressing type blog, but just a like “this should just be common sense” type post. I also can’t let this topic go.
There is a MP called Jackie Doyle, I am pretty sure that she’s Scottish. Who voted against Same Sex marriage, who of course is loved by any TERF, Gender Critical or LGB Alliance member. Yet, they make excuses for her voting against same sex marriage, and I quote “She was more in favour of civil partnership, because a few same sex people told her that they didn’t want same sex marriage, because marriage is regressive”
Okay, but that’s not a excuse to vote no still. Same Sex marriage was on the table, not civil partnership…Which since, has been on the table, because you can’t really have one without the other, that would make sense. Not all straight people want marriage these days, so should the rest of straight couples not be able to get married now?
Basically these transphobic people are excusing homophobia, because this MP is also transphobic.
When you consider the majority of first world countries voted YES on same sex marriage, and got it voted through. There’s not really a good enough reason to have voted “no”. Especially if you are actually for same sex partnerships to begin with, or even for civil partnership. If you are for same sex people being together and legally recognised as a couple, why would you vote no?
Why wouldn’t you just vote yes, and then work on civil partnership?
Do you know what I mean?
I got blocked by the person, by the way. Especially when I pointed out why wouldn’t you just vote yes on same sex marriage and then work on civil partnership, which would just naturally come with it. It’s SO simple, I managed to write it all in one tweet, lol
