gay marriage allowed, not mentioned on news

It was also conspicuously absent from the Daily Mail and the Express yesterday.

You know what this disgusts me how a TV show which is supposed to be unbiased doesn't cover a massive event just because of what backward homophobes think.

The Daily Mail needs time to work out how to twist it as much as possible

But to the OP, it was a breaking news alert on the BBC website/app almost immediately after, I'm not sure if they had an article in the end

The Telegraph were very quick to tell everyone how this oppresses the church and will bring about sunset on the Empire.

But the BBC article says it is hoped that the first marriages will take place next summer. If it is law now, why a whole year? That tells me all the different proposals/laws/whatever haven't been fully legalised? You can tell I don't really know how it works, but do you know what I mean?

Because when California legalised gay marriage it was breaking news and I swear the first marriage took place on like the same day.

Because it doesn't matter. It panders to the minorities AGAIN at the expense of the morals and ethics of the majority

There's about 8000 pieces of secondary legislation, it's going to take a while to set everything up.

I found this strange, I didn't even know it had gone through until my cousin posted about it on Facebook (He's gay so it was a big deal to him)! I think it's unfair there's been such little coverage about it, especially seeing as it's quite a big thing to be changing. But I suppose there were bigger things to be reporting about.

I'm not a big watcher of the news, but it's always on in the background at my house.

It's not actually at the expense of the majority, most polls have shown the majority to be in favour. But either way, how is it at the expense of their morals/ethics?

I read it on facebook too, watched sky news this morning but I didn't heard anything. I was wondering, is it legal in Scotland too? I read somewhere it was for England and Wales only. Legislation about gay unions/marriage can be confusing :confused:

The majority is going to suffer what exactly?
