By the way, was about to tell you that in the NATIONAL REVIEW, of all places, in yet another article of theirs against Gay marriage, they had this to say buried in the article-that England may be on its way to legalizing Gay marriages! March 22 issue p. 28. "Another amendment was proposed by old Thatcherite war-horse Lord Tebbit, specifying that 'no two persons each possessing XX chromosomes, nor each possessing XY chromosomes, nor each possessing genitalia appropriate to the same sex, may be married the one to the other." That one went down [in the House of Lords] 46 to 121. "Not only does the Gender recognition Bill open the door to homosexual marriage, it effectively prohibits a clergyman from refusing to conduct such a marriage. And if, after conducting a marriage between two people he assumed to be of the opposite biological sex, the clergyman discovers that they were, in fact, of the same sex, he may not tell any one of his discovery. Should he do so, he will have broken the law, and will face a 5,000 pound fine!"
The bill now goes to the House of Commons.
