I love this bit: "The police are supposed to be the thin blue line that protects our society. But when they enforce an agenda which directly undermines our basic values, they turn from society's defenders into the agents of its nemesis. "
Can I be an agent of Nemesis? Can I? Pleeease? *grin*
My philosophist soul turns at the sight of so much misuse of "therefore" and "consequently" in one place...
Ah yes, I did catch sight of their headline in the shop at work. I noticed the Mail sold poorly at work yesterday. I can only hope this is because my colleagues don't want to be seen with this issue, the carrying of which is equivalent to wearing a sign saying 'I'm a raving homophobe'.
I do like the 'particularly' clause in the following sentence from the first article you linked to:
But equally, others must be free to voice disapproval of their lifestyles, particularly where this is a key element of religious faith.
because as we know, an opinion reached as a result of a religious text carries far more weight than one based purely in reason...
