Souseiseki wrote:Gay Marriage: Edward Leigh Fears The 'Merciless Prism Of Equality'
Conservative MP Edward Leigh attacked plans to allow gay people to marry on Tuesday fearing the "merciless prism of equality", much to the confusion of those watching the Commons debate.
The debate on the government's same-sex marriage bill has exposed deep divisions within the Conservative Party on the issue, with some of the most pro-gay marriage and anti-gay marriage speeches coming from the same side of the House.
Leigh said that while people should be treated with tolerance, MPs had to be "very careful that law and reality do not conflict".
"We have to get away from the idea that every single thing in life can be forced through the merciless prism of equality," he said.
He added: "We should be concerned with equality, but not at the expense of every other consideration, not at the expense of tradition."
Leigh also said that marriage was "profoundly pro-woman" as it was "generally men who have the propensity to want to wander off into other relationships" leaving them "holding the baby".
To which another MP responded: "Speak for yourself."
