MessageThe TCP views this bill as propostorous and it must be forfit at once. Same sex marriages are an insult to the hundred year old sacred bond that is marriage. The TCP also reminds the SDP and SCA that marriage is a RELIGIOUS concept, and considering religious institutions see homosexuals as a violation of religion, they should not be allowed to partake in religious practices\vowes of any kind. It is the churches right to decide who can get married and who cannot, as marriage is THEIR concept. If homosexuals want to engage in a life long commitment to one another, so be it, but marriage is a religious bond and one of its fundamental prerequisits is that one party be a male, and the other be a female. The TCP will not be persuaded on this issue.

MessageWe are appaled to hear such clearly wrong views on marriage on the TCP side - while marriage is indeed a ritual taken place in churches, mosques, temples and so on, a legal communion between couples, which does not have exclusively religious conscequences. Couples may have certain advantages when it comes to inheritance, tax deductions or similar measures. Whatever the communion is called it is legally accepted by the government to recieve such "bonuses". We feel it is inappropriate that some couples have such rights taken away just because of their sexual orientation!
