I have been reflecting a great deal recently on the nature of love and have come to the conclusion that what any two people share, physically or in any other way, is perfectly natural if they are both happy with it. There are no limits to the way love can be expressed and gender (I prefer this word to "sex" when distinguishing the differences between male and female, as it is less confusing) makes no difference, in any way. The fundamental thing is respect for a partner and genuine feelings in their regard.

If there is a genuine shift in consciousness among the "masses" then it is right that the laws of the land reflect the thoughts of the people. We have all become so suspicious of the motives of our politicians that their role in this respect has become weakened and in the end we all lose out because of such a loss of faith. It limits progress.
