SIR – Re the letter by Ewan Gear ‘Why are we rushing this Marriage Bill?’ (Worcester News, February 22).
Don’t worry, Mr Gear,I managed to get over my moral guilt about marrying without wanting children.I divorced.It’s true that after I divorced that civil partnerships were not available, but I eventually got around that problem as well.It turned out that living in sin was much more fun.
I can understand his concerns that apart from the thousands of years that society has been discussing same-sex couples, we now seem to be rushing into making a hasty decision.
What we need is justification and clarity.
A list of reasons about how gay marriage could change our whole society in ways that no one even seems to have begun to think about yet would be useful.
