My defence of gay marriage? When my last post spoke of ‘the grievous consequences of this measure if enacted’? Is that risible riposte the best you can come up with? Disappointing - your arguments up to that point had some cogency, before you descended to that level of puerility.
What’s unfortunate about this discussion is its focus on the Queen rather than those actually responsible for all this.
royalty should be abolished anyway
The thread has to focus on the Queen because it’s about her granting of royal assent. And I fully agree, there will be grievous consequences, but I will always insist that they will be far more grievous than if she had stood by her oath of coronation and withheld assent. Remember, the oath of coronation does not bind the Queen to preserve the “rights and privileges” of any corrupt politician or clergyman when their actions violate “the laws of God” that she has sworn to “maintain”.
