Nick Clegg and The B Word
September 12, 2012Nick Clegg found himself in hot water for using the same B word that gave Gordon Brown trouble in 2010. The excuse was that it was an early draft of a speech which should not have been released. Oh, of course!
It is not surprising our politicians have a reputation for not being honest with us, since too often when they say what is on their mind we leap upon them accusing them of offending this or that sensitivity. Whatever he thought he was going to say, what Clegg meant was that opposition by certain members of various churches, including the established C of E, to gay marriage is out of date, out of order and out of touch. It matters not what the personal belief of members are, nor whether they like the idea or not. They are free to put any complexion they like on the rituals of marriage within their faith, but they have no right, no right at all, to try and denigrate the views of others who are more tolerant, have more understanding and more humanity and who are possessed of a more generous spirit towards their fellow beings.
No church can own marriage or its definition. The only people who can do that are the couple of whatever sexual combination or inclination who are involved each and every time. This government has accepted that it is their timely duty to ensure that all may do so under the law and be so recognised. The Deuty Prime Minister is right to defend this notable advance in human relations and civilised living.
It is worth, when a word causes controversy, to check its true meaning in the Oxford dictionary.
Bigot an obstinate and intolerant believer in a religion, political theory etc…
