One year after marriage equality in England and Wales

Story here

The sky still hasn't fallen.

Detractors of marriage equality in England and Wales predicted all sorts of mayhem when the law was passed a year ago.

Guess how many of the dire predictions have come true?

Zero.

Full state marriage equality was greeted by a yawn when we finally got it, even the fulminating preachers were subdued in their reactions.

I don't care who gets married as long as it's not me. I seem to have a lot of company in that viewpoint.
