The vote for gay marriage is today and I really cannot
understand why there is a fuss about it. The crusty Tory Grandees seem to think
that it is compulsory or will drastically affect their lives or something. The “SANCTITY
OF MARRIAGE IS IN JEOPARDY”. Bitch, please.
Although we have come light years in terms of laws since the
late 60s when committing a homosexual act was illegal I still think that a lot
of people’s views haven’t changed very much. Thankfully, those people are
elderly and on the way out and most ‘young’ people actually don’t even care
about it and find it weird that it isn’t already on the statute books. One
could argue that civil partnership is basically what gay marriage is but it
obviously doesn’t quite have the same ring to it (geddit?). I think that the
Conservatives are reacting totally insanely over this. They are treating it as
a divisive issue when it really isn’t. If this is a stepping stone to breaking
the party and creating a rift then the Conservative MPs deserve to lose the
next election.
