Same-sex 'marriage' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes'

The British Parliament yesterday voted in favour of a bill that would legalise same-sex 'marriage' in England and Wales. A majority of the Conservative Party that governs in a coalition with the much smaller Liberal Democrats, voted against the bill which still has a few hurdles to jump over before it becomes law. 

Three days earlier the French Parliament voted in favour of a similar bill, though it too has some way to go.

Hans Christian Andersen

It might be good if those who voted in favour of the absurdity of same-sex 'marriage' would either read Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes or listen to Frank Loesser's musical rewriting of the story [video above] for Danny Kaye to sing as he played Hans Christian Andersen in the 1952 movie of the same name.

When will enough 'little boys' see and expose 'same-sex "marriage" as a "human right"' for the universal con-job that it has become?

At a Calvary Near the Ancre

Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918)

One ever hangs where shelled roads part.

In this war He too lost a limb,

But His disciples hide apart;

And now the Soldiers bear with Him.

Near Golgotha strolls many a priest,

And in their faces there is pride

That they were flesh-marked by the Beast

By whom the gentle Christ's denied.

The scribes on all the people shove

And bawl allegiance to the state,

But they who love the greater love

Lay down their life; they do not hate.

Wilfred Owen died in action in France on 4 November 1918. His family received the news a week later, the day the Great War ended.
