...on the once-delightful programme Songs of Praise which was begun in the 1960s and for decades was a popular feature, showing churches hosting gatherings to sing popular hymns.
I am sickened by this BBC using this to push ssm - something so cruel and destructive, so contemptuous of the human person and human dignity.
The Coalition for Marriage has issued a relevant statement - see below:
Same-sex marriage remains a highly contentious issue, especially for Christians and those of other faiths. Around 1 in 200 places of worship in England and Wales is registered to hold same-sex weddings. So that's 99.5% that aren't.
When it deals with controversial subjects, the BBC is supposed to “ensure a wide range of significant views and perspectives are given due weight and prominence”.
Yesterday’s Songs of Praise focused on faith and marriage, and celebrated same-sex marriage. Though the presenter briefly mentioned that some people disagree, air time was only given to those who endorse it.
Viewers were even told by one of the gay couple that those who don’t support same-sex marriage “just need to think about it, and they’ll get there one day”.
Will the BBC now allow the alternative view to be aired “in output of a similar type and weight and in an appropriate timeframe”? No, I don’t think so either.

And I noticed coming back from Paris on the Eurostar at the weekend that on their information on board film they mention that they were proud to note that Eurostar links the four big pride capitals and accompanied it with a short film of people enjoying being 'gay.' Very sad. Yes we should of course respect differences but this minority really seem to be getting the upper hand these days.
We have gone round the bend. Complete insanity. I no longer see commercials with husband, wife, children. Now all I see are two men and a baby; two women and a baby. Horrific.
