Greetings!
I shall use this blog to write about 'burning issues' of the day that I think are important, for a diverse variety of reasons.
This morning I had a conversation with someone that knew an awful lot more about the issue that I raised than I did. I started a discussion about 'gay marriage' thinking that it was a simple issue. It was pointed out to me that the word 'marriage' was a sacrament in the eyes of many religions and to use this word may be an insult to those people. Gay people can currently have a 'civil partnership' which is not the same thing as a 'marriage', how, I do not know. A simple solution then seems to be to make a 'civil partnership' the same as a marriage but continue to call it a 'partnership' which is what a marriage is. However, I do believe that there will be people that do not agree with my analysis or conclusion.
