The gay marriage bill went through with all party support.

Polls are polls and even when I may like what I read I still take them with a healthy pinch of salt.

The Independent polled the day before the commons debate started and reckoned 87% of the population supported gay marriage.

Just out of interest Q, over 15% of the population here have taken class A drugs, but you don't need to convince them otherwise, just point out the law. One person in The UK says "marriage" when they refer to marriage, but you don't have to convince him, just point out the law.

You don't need to respect opponents of equal opportunity, just take each and every opportunity to shout them down, marginalise them and remind them that society requires they don't make their odious bigotry respectable by numbers.

If a poll said 51% of the population reckon it is alright to bugger children, would you want to respect their right to that view?
