Take a Deep Breath!
So, a Private Member's bill calling for "Marriage Equality" has been drawn by ballot this week. What this means is that people's opinions are coming out into the open, and already I've seen a fair bit of shredding and flaming on my Facebook page.
I think this is an important issue - and I'm really glad it's come up. However, it does mean that I'm going to be using up a lot of patience, while trying to explain, calmly and clearly, that it's an issue of human rights, and in no way invalidates anyone's heterosexual marriage. Calmly and lovingly, when all I want to do is smack people's heads together.
Or, I could just not log on to Facebook. But that way, I can't help right a wrong.
