There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come and marriage equality is that idea. I guess he's gonna have to go home and sob into his pillow every night.

I wish we could find whoever is manufacturing all these doughy, grinning right wing hate mongers and shut them down. Unfortunately, it seems they'll always be with us, being dragged along by progress, tantruming all the way.

Thanks. And glad to see that the fine folk of his constituency realize he's an idiot. *fingers crossed*

E.g. Labour do NOT even have a 6.2% chance of winning in Witney; they have the chance of a snowball in hell there! Much as I'd like to see David Cameron have a 'Portillo moment', it's not going to happen.

5. Senior Conservatives form gay marriage campaign group

Dec 2012

Senior Tories including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have defied party traditionalists by launching a new group to campaign for gay marriage.

The London mayor and education secretary are among more than a dozen senior figures backing moves to allow same-sex weddings to be held in places of worship.

The issue has sparked a serious rift in the Conservative Party, with more than 100 of its MPs expected to oppose the change in the Commons next year.

Some have criticised David Cameron for "arrogance" in pushing ahead with the plans, despite his promise of a free vote.

... to come to terms with the fact that I agree with something that Gove and Johnson are doing!
