UK vs Philippines Approach to Gay and Trans People

He had nearly as many wives as bigmac

I think she does yes and my mother thought she was stunning, before she knew she was trans. But that's not the only point though. There are many trannies and crossdressers who look convincing ( many who do not in manchester ) but its a temporary persona, not a real thing. My GF is female inside herself all the time and its that femininity that attracts as well. She is always her, not just at weekends. I think thats why many western guys are attracted to asian trans, because their "morning face" is gorgeous. I'd put a pic up but I might get in trouble. Hopefully she will join soon

Some really great comments, all made in a grown up way. To quote Jo Cox "we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us"

Hopefully she will join soon i hope so too--i'm sure she would be very welcome. see--i said " she"

I call her ma'am.

i think because we are all in mixed race relationships--it helps us see other issues in a different light.

Its not an easy subject to discuss because we dont not want to upset the other party but at the same time we want to get our views across.

We can discuss most things here whilst respecting other peoples views.

I did rather enjoy the friendly argument about the topic. My respect to others who don't believe same sex marriage should exist and much more to those who fight for it.

I came from a religious family, my mother is a devoted daughter of the church. She, herself, questions my choice of getting married. She's not happy about it, but whay can I do? Oh well if only I could come to UK and be with my lover without having CP or Marriage then that would be better. I tried to explain that to her.

We can go on all day and exchange our opinions about the matter. There will always be argument, no matter what. But of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We just have to respect each others opinion.

Love will always prevail.

but you chose marriage --rather than partner--for your visa ?

Well yeah that's what my fiance wanted really. Since it's there anyway, so be it.

are you planning to have a full on wedding--with all the trimmings ?

Oh no, our wedding is only very basic tobe honest. Very private. To be honest we only have 2 people who will be on our weddding day and they will also be our witnesses. Getting married in a registrar office, no trimmings at all and fancy stuffs. After that, eat and then go home. That's just about it really.

That made me nervous for a moment there. Thank you for that @Mattecube

What for making you nervous haha

Hahah for the heads up. I should think twice when I say something about that. It might be misunderstood

we had a very simple wedding last year. registry orifice--few friends present and back to our place for drinks and a buffet. no wedding cars--no photographer. ive read on here what some of the others have done--and weep.
the whole visa drama was expensive enough for one lifetime.

@Mattecube - don't forget to edit your quote!

What quote

Yeah that's what we're doing as well really. It's not like I've dreamt of getting married when I was young so it will be as simple as possible. Never actually thought I'll get married. Lol. Everything has changed.

have you got the day planned yet ?
