Jim is wrong. The UK, other than the bit attached to his adopted home that still considered being gay a crime till recently, voted in all three countries via parliament and assembly to enact gay marriage.

Whilst really happy that Ireland voted as it did, the fact that it was a referendum rather than merely enacting equality as per equality legislation isn't something to be proud of actually. The Irish government, by using referendum, gave legitimacy to homophobia by making it a matter of conscience.

I'd heed the bit about glass houses and stones if I were you Jim.

The figures by opinion polls in The UK consistently showed in the run up to the parliamentary debate, that the majority of people didn't think as Akenaton wishes they did.

For England, Scotland and Wales, equality was the natural course, and it took a right wing Tory Prime Minister to enact what Akenaton calls a liberal political plot.,😆😆😆
