I was reading the mail on sunday (free dvd) this morning and came across this article by this gowl & it made my blood boil.
"While the unhappy details of Berties separation got more of an airing then anyone would have wished, marriage matters of another sort are afoot in the courts where two lesbians claim they are being discriminated against. This only makes sense of course, if you consider marriage to be another word for a relationship that has been going on for awhile, rather than related to higher purposes than equal tax breaks. But with the courts on the brink of drastically redefining marriage without so much as a national debate on the matter - let alone a vote in the dail - this most radical of changes could be handed down without anyone even particularly noticing."
They are not claiming they are being discriminated against they are being discriminated against. I see you also think that the only reason gay people want to get married is for equal tax breaks. Sure god knows only heterosexuals are capable of loving & stable relationships, we can't let the gays get married sure they would only spend the money on cock rings & poppers. Not only have you shown yourself up to be an ignorant prick you have also managed to offend an entire group of people. There is no reason for this to go to a national debate. Give me one good reason why it should? We deserve the same rights as everyone else and for you to paint all gay people as money grabbing tax dodgers just reeks of your unprofessionalism.
I would have emailed this to you but you didn't bother putting an email address with your column you rank arrogant amateur.
