Jassu ja minä, molemmat paikanpäällä

Mitäköhän Foodie on mieltä lähdeverosta? En halua kuulla! Enkä raippaverosta..

Onneksi et kuitenkaan ole Labourin, tai Kokoomuksenkaan, nouseva poliitikko...

Kerro heti, mitkä kohdat tässä hyvin yksinkertaisessa asiassa olit muka ymmärtänyt väärin?

Kaikki olennainen on kerrottu kuitenkin ihan selvästi ja SUOMEKSI.

Heikkolahjaisen woohoon tekemä aloitus.

By the way, we just got a gender neutral marriage law passed yesterday in Finland. The religious and conservative circles resisted it strongly but it was put to a vote in the parliament after several mass petitions and thwarted attempts. And the yes's won the day. Basically that means that church must now start marrying gay couples too. Up until now gay couples have been able to "register their relationship" and have a magistrate do a ceremony. Such a relationship was and is legally equivalent to marriage, but the gay community thought it only second best to the real thing, the whole nine yards. Some forward thinking and open minded ministers have performed blessings on couples in registered relationships but they haven't been allowed to marry gay couples. Now after this law the church can not refuse to marry gay couples anymore. On one hand I'm all for equal rights to homosexuals. On the other hand it seems queer to me (no pun intended) that the parliament starts telling a religion what they can and cannot do. It would seem logigal to me that the various religions should have the right to decide their own policies and that people would then have the right to vote with their feet so to speak if they're not happy. But then this might have something to do with christianity being a state religion in Finland, so perhaps that's why the state has a say in the matter. I don't actually know if the mosques and synagogues in Finland are now also legally bound to marry gay couples as well. I can't imagine that going down very well with the Muslims.

Hi again. Please forget what I said about the gender neutral marriage law. I talked to E and I had sorely misunderstood it - on every single point I mentioned! Colour me embarrassed :(

Firstly, it's not a law yet, it still has several stages of bureucracy left before there will be a new, final vote. And secondly, the law will not affect the church or dictate their functions. Churches, synogogues and mosques will not be forced to marry homosexuals; the magistrates will do the homosexual marrying in future as well if church so wishes but the church conservatives are of the opinion that the word marriage should not be used of homosexual relationships. Period. That, among other things, is why they don't want to see the law come into being even when it wouldn't change the way they've chosen to operate. Also they do not want gays to get all the same rights that go with traditional marriages now (the right to adopt children for example). At present people in registered relationships do not have all the same legal rights as married couples do. I was just as wrong about that as about everything else. Sorry!

Ja juu, onneksi tosiaan en ole politiikassa. Voi Suomi parkaa jos olisin. Nauratti vain kun olin toiselle nauranut ja sitten mokasin itsekin noin hölmösti.

Juu, menit kyllä tosi pahasti metsään xD Lakihan antaisi vain samat juridiset oikeudet homo/lesboliitoille kuin heteroliitoillekin. Uusi eduskuntakin voi vielä torpata koko aloitteen ettei kannata vielä "olla asiasta iloisempi" kuin koskaan mistään kuten Leipureiden nouseva tähti. Veikkaisin että suurin osa papeista ei suostu homo/lesbopareja kirkossa vihkimään, kuten ei kaikki vieläkään vihi eronneita, jos toinen puoliso on vielä elossa. Kovaa on. Onneksi papsun pappi kelpuutti Jassun ja Hassun pitkien keskustelujen jälkeen.

Blogini seiskassa valitettavasti loppuu nyt eikä yhteistyö sen saralta jatku enää. Itse en olisi halunnut lopettaa ja päätös tuli seiskan puolelta koska heillä on jotain uudistuksia jne.. mitä lie."

Tässäkö syy Jassunkin hiljaisuuteen? Ei osaa kohteliaasti kiittää menneestä vaan niskojaan nakellen paiskaa ihanan seiskaläven kiinni? Kiitos seiska!
