Boris says marriage is a relic of the ‘Stone Age’

Written by Super User 15 Oct 2012

London Mayor Boris Johnson says the nation needs ‘to move beyond the Stone Age’ by redefining marriage. He supports David Cameron’s plan to rewrite the meaning of marriage, saying: ‘frankly I can’t see what the fuss is about.’ He made the dismissive remarks in an article for The Independent. He said marriage ‘has been here since before the Stone Age, and now it needs to move beyond the Stone Age’. Prime Minister David Cameron avoided mentioning his controversial gay marriage policy in his keynote speech at the Tory Party conference. However, in what may be a coordinated manoeuvre by Tory top brass, Chancellor George Osborne, Foreign Secretary William Hague, Education Secretary Michael Gove, and Equalities Minister Maria Miller have all voiced their support for changing marriage. Last weekend it was revealed that over 70 per cent of Tory constituency chairmen want the plans to be dropped, and nearly half say they have lost members because of the policy.

Pray: for an end to glib and superficial statements and for a deeper understanding of how the proposed changes will impact the vast majority of the population who want hetrosexual marriage. (Pr.8:1 )
