almostwittySince I've managed to be totally out of step with my friends in terms of political opinions on the topic of the day for the last two days, I might as well carry on with that and state another controversial political opinion today.
Gay marriage - or marriage, as I'd prefer to term it - is a good thing and should be allowed.
Until this week, I'd have thought this was a relatively uncontroversial statement (at least in the UK) and generally accepted by most people. But given I've been wrong about British people about other opinions this week, no doubt you dear fine readers will prove me wrong again.
The Church flailing around because they don't get to redefine what marriage means is particularly amusing. It's like a writer who writes a book that turns out to be so popular, everyone else starts copying the ideas and the writer is left alone on a mountain-top screaming "It's my book! Surely I get to decide how you dear readers should interpret it!"
