She gave royal assent to the Tories’ homosexual marriage law that defines it as such. Merely saying that the churches can “opt out” of solemnizing it is no defense of the faith or any faith.
And since “civil partnerships” are the stepping stone to legalized homosexual marriage, what does that say?
“She gave royal assent to the Tories’ homosexual marriage law that defines it as such.”
She has no choice.
She reigns, but does not rule.
RE: She gave royal assent to the Tories’ homosexual marriage law that defines it as such.
I can understand her dilemma.
She personally can’t support gay marriage, yet she had no choice but to sign a law legalizing it in order to avoid a parliamentary crisis ...
Which is to say, her hands are tied.
Then we have people who supposedly CLAIMED they heard her say that being able to sign the bill into law is “wonderful” ( All of these reports by the way, came from Queer supporting websites ).
I really hate to be in her shoes.
She did, because she knows the Monarch must agree and should not assert her power because there would be a crisis of the unelected dictating to their chosen reps.
