Sri Lanka is country of high moral and religious values which treats homosexuality as un-natural and a cardinal sin.Cameron seems to be a profound athiest with a lost memory of Biblical story of sodom and gomoragh.Let us not follow the whims of the devil at whatever cost.

Being gay or indulging in gay activity was never illegal in Lanka until the British under Queen Victoria made it illegal in all of Britain's colonies. Like Lanka before the British came, gay activity has never been illegal in other Buddhist countries. Those that were never colonised such as Thailand, Korea, Japan never made it illegal and it is not illegal even today. This is all an imposed Judeo-Christian law. Buddhism does not make judgments between hetero and homo. It simply advises that all and any worldly desires prevents you from attaining Nirvana. It is as simple as that.

Shouldn’t those who support marriage between two women and two men also support marriage between mother and son, father and daughter, and brother and sister?
In 2001, the Ontario Court of Appeal (Canada) said that a child can have two mothers and a father. In other words, a child can have three or even more parents. Furthermore these three, the mothers and the father, can legally have group sex, buy properties like houses, and everything you can imagine but except one thing: our glorious law says they cannot get married. Why is that? Is it because it is very difficult for the government to calculate their income tax and pension?
Copy the good part from the West, not everything!

Alagan, this is about allowing same-sex marriage, not incest or bestiality or paedophilia or whatever. Those are different issues. There is no logical ground for comparing incest with homosexuality. You might as well compare incest with interracial marriage.
Silva, our constitution supports religious freedom. If you want to believe that homosexuality is a sin, I'm absolutely fine with that but you don't have a right to "prohibit" homosexuals with different religious and moral opinions from being in meaningful relationships. You are entitled to your own cultural and religious values but this is LAW we're talking about. Law shouldn't be based on religious and cultural values. Law should be based on fairness and justice. Law shouldn't be biased by religious/ cultural beliefs.

If a man can marry a man and woman a women, why cannot a man have his legally wedded second wife?
