Moral of story. Make your own cake and if someone doesn't want to make you a cake, shut up and find someone who will.
The song is by Dana Dawson.
And one of the many acceptable definitions of Family is:
A group of people related by blood or marriage....a married couple is a family.
So on both counts you were wrong.

He can have whatever marriage views he likes.
From whatever source he likes.
The david cameron approved change to allow gay marriage to exist, where previous it was identical in law called civil partnership, and affording the same rights, has basically changed the dictionary definition of the word, in great britian.
In the UK as a whole it has only changed for certain regions, northern ireland remains excluded. We had civil partnership first iirc, but not marriage, nor any likely plans for it to become law here.
Currently Northern Ireland doesn't allow gay men to donate blood. The health minister refuses to allow this. Yet in times of shortage when we import from England we might well be getting 'gay' blood. Explain that logic to me anyone...
I'd be more concerned about life saving donations, rather than the term marriage being used for something it never was, until we changed the dictionary definition.

Tiaras and tantrums, the cake is a lie, mind you don't choke on it.Personally I'd have thought a puff pasty pie be more fitting.

If I were gay, I would avoid the bakery and go and check out the crafty butcher who gets his meat in the back door
If I remember correctly, gay men are only allowed to give blood if they have not engaged in sexual activity for 12 months.
Nothing worse than choking on it.
Haha, so did I...she is Irish as well, although from the Republic, where mostly people are too interested in GAA and Guinness to care about too much else.

Not quite, as I accepted your definition and usage in the context to which you applied it...I merely added that the term can also be applied to the context of something being forbidden in Law. So my mind wasn't made up, in fact I accepted your explanation and offered an addendum of my own.

I thought that this was the case as well, could have changed though.
The only reason I am opposed to reunification is because I like the Irish too much to foist the Northern Irish on them!
It didn't really read like that to me, but compromise accepted anyway. It isn't like we are going to actually solve the issue either way.
I still cannot give blood simply because I had a blood transfusion after 1980.
Given the screening we can now do I have no idea why I can't.
What the?
I think we were just unnecessarily lowering the tone. Apologies.

I'm not opposed, I just think its up to them and I don't think other than a vocal minority that either really want it...I know plenty of Southern Irish (its a frequent topic of conversation on Newstalk an Irish radio station) would like to be part of the UK again.
Sometimes, especially on the Internet, a little clarification is necessary.
Nothing wrong with a bit of humour in this messed up society we live in.
Is that homophobia bro?

Republic of ireland won't take your blood if you've had a root filling done in the UK, unless the dentists gives you a letter to say he used single use files at the time.
As they never had a cjd case, but there was one in Belfast.
So the same dentist, could treat the same patient using the same equipment in Newry, or Dundalk, a few miles apart, and depending on where they have the procedure their blood would either be accepted or rejected.
