“Intolerant, out of touch, and wrong” Steve Gilbert MP on the Church opposition to gay marriage.
Another Sunday and another set of intolerant and out of touch comments from senior Church leaders who have set their face against the Coalition plans for equal marriage. It's clear that some parts of the Church are on a collision course with Parliament and the people. But rather than showing themselves to be modern defenders of values we all share, they are showing how out of touch they are with British society today and the institution they seek to protect. They are also plain wrong: extending marriage to same-sex couples will not undermine the institution; it will renew and reinforce it.
