1. Ancient Rome, Greece and Gomorrah

A community, nation or empire is built on its principles. There are certain principles such as the respect ad defence of : Heterosexuality; Monogamy and Traditional Family, i.e. Man and Woman together raising children; that are the pegs which hold things together. Weaken, remove or fail to include these pegs and the ship of state will fall apart. People forget that ancient Rome, Greece and Gomorrah were full of urbane, chic, "cultured", intellectually sophisticated people. Policy must be subservient to philosophy. Unfortunately many parliaments of the world are full of philosophical halfwits. One would hope the Knesset doesn't suffer from such a malaise, but we will see...
2. #1 Please explain

What gay people have to do with how heterosexuals will or will not marry? What it has to do with monogamy? Besides talking about monogamy, it is not a natural human behavior but tradition imposed on people by religion. And let me surprise you many heterosexual married couples cheat on daily basis. So how all this is related to gay people? Why they have to be denied basic rights based on some archaic book writings made by ignorant man. Do not blame god for your ignorance. Religion is creation of man kind and contains mostly ignorance, hatred and intolerance. So please get out of your box and explore before spreading dirt on others have a look on your self.
