Meanwhile the gay Conservative MP Conor Burns, who has not publicly stated how he will vote, complained that he had been attacked from both the gay and Christian communities. “The whole thing is deeply unpleasant and people are saying things that you wouldn’t say to people you despised or hated,” he said. “I don’t know what kind of God some of those people who have contacted me from religious groups believe in – but he’s certainly not compassionate or loving.” Another MP who asked not to be named said: “Quite a few of us who were considering abstaining will vote in favour of gay marriage because of the unreasonable nature of the emails we have been receiving. Some of the emails I’ve had are simply appalling and I’m fed up with it.”[/quote]
It's going to get through regardless because no one really cares. Bar some old fogies.
Ha, sounds like they are getting a taste of modern American vitriol. It's terrible, really. Here's hoping the fanatics shock the better part of Europe into shunning them rather than infecting their political processes like they so clearly intend.
