U.K. Prime Minister: "I Support Gay Marriage"
By Ivan Villanueva

David Cameron
In what might be viewed as a contradictory statement here in the United
States, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said he supports same-sex marriage
precisely because he is a conservative.
His comments were made while speaking to the Conservative Party in
Manchester, England on Wednesday.
"I stood before a conservative conference once and I said it shouldn't
matter whether a commitment is between a man and a woman, or a man and a man
, or a woman and woman. And you applauded me," he said. "Five years on, we
are consulting on legalizing gay marriage, and to anyone who has
reservations, I say this: yes, it's about equality. But it's also about
something else: commitment. Conservatives believe in the ties that bind us;
that society's stronger when we make vows to each other and we support each
other. So I don't support gay marriage in spite of being a conservative, I
support gay marriage because I am a conservative."
While government officials in the U.K. are set to begin discussions on
legalizing gay marriage by March of 2012, some religious leaders have lashed
out at Cameron for attempting to redefine the concept of marriage
altogether.
Peter Smith, a senior Archbishop in England said, "Whilst we welcome the
Prime Minister's support of marriage, family life and especially the care of
children, the proposed redefinition of marriage cannot be right."
England's two major parties, Labour and Cameron's own Conservative, have
long been criticized for remaining silent on the marriage equality issue.
Representatives from both parties however, have recently come out in support
of marriage equality. Chris Bryant, the current Labour MP who is in a civil
union himself, tweeted, "I hear Cameron backed gay marriage, if so I warmly
applaud him."

也许美国的路是走错了?像英国那样先CU,争取FEDERAL BENEFITS,再要MARRIAGE,更
好更快?

各有利弊,很多事情做了就做了,无所谓定论
犹豫不决才是最大的障碍。
