photoEx married man with 3 grown up sons. Came out to family early 2003 and went through what can only be described as "interesting times"! Within weeks had fallen madly in love with an old university friend based in Edinburgh. After 18 months he finally got a job in Cambridge and we set up home together in January 2005, becoming Civil Partners May 2008. Happy to chat to anyone in similar circumstances.

Although this is on the back burner in England - its a hot topic in Scotland right now where an SNP sponsored consultation is currently underway.

The flames are being fanned by hysterical rabidly homophobic rantings from one Catholic bishop in particular, not to mention a few diehard conservatives - but there have been lots of very encouraging articles in the press including this article in today's Scotsman.

Conservative with a small c I guess?

The religious nutters are being quite funny over this one I think. They're even going out of their way to attack the Scottish Conservative Party.

"The religious nutters are being quite funny over this one I think."

So much so that they are actually undermining their own cause.

An article in The Herald earlier this week quoted a figure of 55% support among Catholics for gay marriage.

Its laughable to see a "holy" alliance between the Catholics and the Free Presbyterians being mooted.
