The C of E could remain "open" to SSM, but then it would be in the position of having to marry <i>all</i> SS couples (as they do mixed-sex couples -- this is part of the Establishment). This way, they can rest assured they never have to marry <i>any</i> SS couples.

This will make it all the harder to do so down the road.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-5909298497829667132012-12-14T04:26:08.622-05:002012-12-14T04:26:08.622-05:00It seems there are valid legal reasons for this fo...It seems there are valid legal reasons for this fourth lock:<br /><br />http://www.ministryoftruth.me.uk/2012/12/12/making-sense-of-camerons-quadruple-lock-on-equal-marriage/Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-86695977907817049172012-12-12T01:56:19.407-05:002012-12-12T01:56:19.407-05:00Hear, hear.Hear, hear.JCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516376500318551838noreply@blogger.com
