Ex SNP leader Gordon Wilson calls gay marriage "a step towards fascism" - Polidicks

[URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-19937417"]Original Source (BBC)[/URL] [quote][B]A former SNP leader has attacked plans to introduce gay marriage, branding them "a step towards fascism".[/B]Gordon Wilson told BBC Scotland that the state should not be asserting a superior claim over what citizens do or think. A bill to bring in same-sex marriage forms part of the Scottish government's new legislative programme. Mr Wilson will criticise the plans in a speech to the party conference later this week. SNP ministers said the move was the "right thing to do" and it received backing from equality campaigners and cross-party support at Holyrood. But Mr Wilson, who led the Nationalists in the 1980s, will tell MSPs they face losing their seats if they "scorn the electorate". Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said a consultation on the issue had shown the public were not in favour of legislation. Mr Wilson said political correctness was now occupying a position "to which it has no right" and when the state moves into legislating on same-sex marriage it becomes "a step towards fascism". He added: "What you have to watch is when the state believes that it has a superior claim to tell its own citizens what to do and what to think. "And that is what is beginning to happen here."[/quote] [IMG]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/63472000/jpg/_63472870_gaymarriagewilsoniv1210.jpg[/IMG] senility is not fun

Ex SNP leader Gordon Wilson is a fucking mongo then, job done.

That makes SOOO much sense :downs:

So a major step towards equality....somehow....leads to fascism. Yeah sure bro, whatever you say, you senile old fart.

If you're going to make a hyperbole, at least have it make sense.

gays should be allowed to get married [img]http://www.alef.net/ALEFThings/Swastikas/RainbowSwastika.Gif[/img]

telling citizens that any two consenting adults can marry means forcing a view on people ok

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;38031773]gays should be allowed to get married[/QUOTE] FASCIST!

I actually don't understand how legalizing gay marriage is "telling people how to think". It literally involves nobody other than the people getting married and those willing to marry them...

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;38031773]gays should be allowed to get married[/QUOTE] Tell it to Adolf, friend.

I'm pretty sure fascist loved gays. Yeah,that seems about right.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;38031796]Tell it to Adolf, friend.[/QUOTE] I saw a documentary once suggesting Hitler was gay. It was on the History Channel, so you know it had to be true. Just like how aliens built the pyramids.

On the contrary, a step towards gay marriage is a step AWAY from fascism. Go home and take your medicine, old man Wilson.

He called the states plans to force through marriage equality fascism. The majority of people actually polled against it. Headline is very sensationalist.

[QUOTE=SeamanStains;38031963]He called the states plans to force through marriage equality fascism. The majority of people actually polled against it.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;38032145]Yeah but theres a reason why the state doesn't listen to the people, because the people are generally stupid.[/QUOTE] Then why do we let the people elect it?

yeah guys remember all those fascist regimes that had forced marriage equality?

[QUOTE=thisispain;38040260]yeah guys remember all those fascist regimes that had forced marriage equality?[/QUOTE] by the decree of hitler you are all equal and are free to love eachother as such oh NOOOO

Allowing more personal freedom and rights.... Is a step toward fascism? Gordon Wilson, I think you got this shit backwards.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;38031804]I saw a documentary once suggesting Hitler was gay. It was on the History Channel, so you know it had to be true.

As much as I hate some forms of political correctness, equality is not bad. It is a God-Given right to every human, no matter race, gender, religion, or culture.
