Yesterday staff and students on my campus had a wee party to celebrate the legalisation of gay marriage. And the pink blossom was in abundance as a celebration. And yet the arguments rage. As I sit in my kitchen I am listening to a disgraceful bigot who said it can't me a marriage because it can't be consummated - well, apart from getting into the bodily functions is that really the argument? What happened to love? While I am happy to agree there should be no bias of opinions on BBC radio (and I am pro some censorship because its not censorship but the self-appointed censors that worry me) as the radio presenter closed the discussion down I am glad he did so with the pro arguer's point of view prevailing while the bigot appeared to have been silenced. Its a day to celebrate not berate, its also a great day for common sense and an exercise in approving free will. Let all who wish to marry do so with our best wishes - now prime minister, asylum seekers next I think, may they also be free to dance on Solsbury Hill, my heart goes boom, boom, boom...
