Nevertheless, it is not for the supremacy that you have sought my blood, but because I would not bend to the marriage!

Thomas More's final words at the "trial" before he was beheaded, according to A Man For All Seasons.

"Marriage" now defines that which it isn't. Are all Christians now destined for the Tower of London?

Oh I love that line in the play. It sums up the whole reason for the trial, and is such a great climax to it.

My other favorite line is directed at Richard Rich who lied under oath to condemn Moore... something like "It profits a man nothing to sell his soul for the whole world... but for Wales?"
I know it has no bearing on this thread. Sorry.

The introduction of this legislation is just one more move towards the nomalisation of homosexuality in this country. It restricts the rights of others to follow their consciences.
