Gay marriage is a hot topic across the pond, particularly since the State of New York legalised it in July. The noisy vitriol from the opponents is depressingly predictable. In the end, I hope reason will triumph over ignorance. Meanwhile, over in Blighty, Stonewall recently awarded Melanie Phillips the Bigot of the Year Award. It’s much deserved. Ms Phillips is a columnist for the Daily Mail (no surprises there) and has written extensively on LGBT rights (they shouldn’t have any), Civil Unions (What next, getting hitched to your budgie?) Gay Marriage (God says no). Perhaps her most ludicrous assertion is:
“Mad as this may seem [you said it!], school children are to be bombarded with homosexual references… In science, they will be directed to animal species such as emperor penguins and sea horses, where the male takes a lead role in raising its young.”
So, let me get this right. All fathers who bring up their children are gay? Does Ms Phillips drink?
In the final analysis, nothing I can say will make much of a difference but this video just might:
