The British party The Liberal Democrats, one half of the ruling coalition, today adopted same-sex marriage at its party conference in Liverpool, so hopefully gay people will be able to tie the knot in a few years, unless the Tory right refuses.
In a strange twist, the biggest LGBT-charity in the UK, Stonewall, seems to have come out against same-sex marriage. A report at PinkNews say that the chairman of the Equality-division views same-sex marriage as too expensive, and puts the tab at £5bn.
People are naturally outraged by this, and everyone I’ve spoken to about it directs quite a bit of ire against the organisation. I have yet to find one that shares Stonewall’s strange view on equality under the laws.
