Queen Elizabeth II opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage in England because of her deeply held Christian values, a close friend has reportedly told a London-based newspaper.
The UK Daily Mail published a story Sunday which claimed that the queen, who is also head of the Church of England, secretly opposed gay marriage but was in favor of civil partnerships. The unnamed "friend" said the monarch was frustrated by the fact that she could only "advise and warn" on the issue.
"It was the 'marriage' thing that she thought was wrong, because marriage ought to be sacrosanct between a man and a woman," said the friend, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail also stated that the reported revelation of her views on the definition of marriage was part of an overall series of stories about the queen as she nears her 90th birthday.
I mentioned the issue to a poster in the context of leftism vs conservatism, as they accused me of being a leftist. I don’t want to sidetrack the thread. I’ll be happy to answer via PM.
Carry what to term?
Again, I will be happy to continue this issue on PM. Not here.
I do not eager in promoting positions which I am too cowardly to defend.
a concept which is wrong if carried to it’s logical conclusion is wrong in its inception.
At the end of the day, you are trying to pretend that a human baby isn’t a person. You duck and you hide, and when the cold light of truth is focused on the heart of the matter, you tuck your tail between your legs and run.
I support a baby’s right to live.
Engaging in sex comes with responsibility.
I am of that last generation that embraces the concept of responsibility.
If a human being is part of conceiving a child they have a responsibility to nurture and raise that child.
Cant you read other posts?. I said I would discuss this on PM because I don’t want to derail this thread. Nothing to with cowardice, I will happily chat on abortion with you on PM.
I mentioned the issue of abortion earlier in the context of a reply to a poster I thought was accusing me of being a liberal and progressive. Which I am not. I was pointing out that I am a conservative, but centrist-pragmatist on some issues. Abortion being one. Prostitution another.
Interesting.
Too bad she’s gagged from saying anything publicly other than platitudes approved by the government.
If I were the King I’d speak up and tell them to go screw if they demanded my abdication over it, let the bastards abolish the monarchy if they don’t like it. If all you can do is smile for the cameras while your country is burned down, what’s the point?

The King is the libtard in the above video but switch it around.
Just out of curiosity, what’s your opinion on partial birth abortion or parental consent?
Hi.
1—I oppose it unless medically needed or if the pregnant female is so due to rape/abuse.
2—Opposed to abortions without parental consent in the UK under 16 (our age of consent). Until then, they are still legally children and the parents legal guardians. I oppose abortions and the pill for under 16s in the UK without parental consent.
