Gay marriage becomes legal in Britain as from midnight tomorrow, 28/29 March.

Here's a commentary from The Daily Telegraph:

Why gay marriage deserves to quietly disappear

Much has been written about the importance of this weekend and rightly so but once we have seen the inevitable ‘first couple’ on the news, this story deserves to quietly disappear. Whilst it has been wonderful to hear the positive debate, the debate has inevitably brought out the ugly and I for one will be glad not to have to listen to the well-rehearsed anti equality arguments anymore.

There will come a day and I do not believe that day is very far off, when we won’t even be able to imagine that we had this debate. We baulk now when we remember those signs in the ‘60’s that read: ‘No Blacks, No Jews, No Irish’. Soon we will baulk at the fact that not so long ago gay couples did not have the right to formalise their love in the same way as everybody else.
