Opponents of gay marriage are not all bigots preaching hate, writes Cristina Odone.
Those promoting the gay marriage lobby could teach PR gurus Tim Bell and Matthew Freud a thing or two about their business. Their brilliant tactic is to cast opponents (step forward, former Archbishop George Carey) as bigots preaching unique discrimination against a blameless and vulnerable minority. To stand in the way of true love, when Romeo and Juliet wanted to tie the knot, was condemned as cruel; to stand between two gays who seek to do the same is truly hateful, Cristina Odone writes in The Telegraph.
Julie Bindel writes a reply in The Guardian to Cristina Odone’s The Telegraph opinion about same-sex marriage and the new minority called heterosexuals.
Stop the whingeing about gay people demanding rights
The likes of Christina Odone and Rick Santorum think gay rights would open the floodgates. Maybe we just shouldn’t mention sex, The Guardian‘s Julie Bindel writes in a reply.
Those of us fighting for lesbian and gay liberation have plainly gone too far, according to Christina Odone, who has written about the problems heterosexuals have when forced into treating us as equals. We are opening the floodgates, apparently, for all sorts of daft minority groups to demand similar rights to the point where poor conventional straight folk will end up in a minority fighting for the right to be heard, The Guardian‘s Julie Bindel writes.
