quote:Dont do bad things, only do good things. Always treat your neighbour like someone who lives near to you. Never put a sock in a toaster. Never put jam on a magnet. Never throw your Granny in a bag. Never suck all the juice out of a vampire. Never lean over on Tuesday (takes drag out of joint) Lots of other things, but I gotta go and have a Mars bar now. Love, Paul (Saint).

Maybe that is the key !? In my experiecne same sex partners are not for life - they barely last Christmas once you have the ring on their finger !!

So I IM/texted the question to a load of folks. People in the USA (homosexual, heterosexual, and transgendered) overwhelmingly select same sex couples. Folks outside the USA select Who the hell know's.
Possibly a reflection of Scrooges poll here.
