The gay marriage issue

I have absolutely no time for homophobic bigots and I agree with Posh Dave's stance on gay marriage. But he is having a hard time from some of his right wingers.  Here's a couple of well reasoned quotes from one of the loonies in his party.  As they say, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

"It (marriage) is a delicate mechanism that must not be tampered with by the ignorant and the immoral, the frivolous, the irresponsible and the venal, as you would expect someone to be who has become British Prime Minister without knowing what Magna Carta is".

"The fact that a Conservative Prime Minister can propose such an immoral and insane piece of legislation and have so much support is indicative of the degeneracy and dementia of the British".
