GAY MARRIAGE AND THE EX-ARCHBISHOP


Lord Carey is the former Archbishop of Canterbury. He recently complained about the fact that he was called a bigot by supporters of gay marriage. In response, he compared this to what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany. He said that what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany started with people calling Jews names like this (‘bigots’) and it progressed on  a full holocaust. Lord Carey said, “same sex relationships are not the same as heterosexual relationships and should not be put on the same level”. I have just read an extraordinarily powerful and graphic article by Martin Robbins and I would urge you to read this article. It is headed, “Gay Marriage ‘Nazis’  and the disgrace of Lord Carey”. You can access it at www.mjrobbins.net  We are Irish so it won’t persuade you to protest in the streets about the same sex marriage question, but it might fire you up.
I hope you also heard Mary McAleese’s comments on RTE on Tuesday night on the subject of same sex marriage. She gave a very passionate and logical argument in favour of same sex marriage. Watch it on your iPlayer. Someone should nominate her for President.
