The possibility of same sex marriages in the UK came yet another step closer today as the House of Lords voted overwhelmingly against a motion that was intended to block the same sex marriage bill.
The Telegraph put it like this.
Prior to the vote, some people had been predicting it might be a close call. But n the event, the attempt to block the bill was defeated by 390 votes to 148. Quite a sizeable majority.
As I mentioned here I had received a letter from Care that encouraged me to write to members of the House of Lords asking them to vote against the same sex marriage bill.
On May 25th I emailed Care at mail@care.org.uk as follows:
Dear Care,
I'm writing in response to a letter that you sent regarding the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill dated May 2013.
I'm saddened by the way that you are reacting to this whole issue and have made some comments on this here: http://andrea-wright.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/caring-and-care.html
Please let me know if you feel anything that I've said is unreasonable or unfair and I'll be happy to update it accordingly.
Alternatively, it would be really lovely if you were to change your views on this topic.
So far I’ve had no reply, suggesting either that people at Care are happy that my comments are reasonable and fair or that they are busy doing other things and don’t care.
