Same sex marriages will become accepted in time, but I'm intrigued to think of how the first "shotgun same sex" marriage will arise!
I happened to read one of last week's Daily Mails, this afternoon.

It was full of the outraged hyperbole you'd come to expect from Paul Dacre, it's very Catholic, and very Conservative, both very definitely capitalised, editor.
