Please think about signing the petition for marriage equality in the UK (if you are a UK citizen).  You will need to give a valid email address because the c4em website will email a link to you that you need to click for your signature to be counted.  Your name will then be shown in the list below the above graphic next to the number of people who have signed by then.

This petition is to counteract the group that says it collected 25k signatures on a petition that calls for: 'Don't play politics - one man + one woman - with marriage', the dashes are meant to show line breaks.  The background colour of that petition is green, just in case you come across it.

There are some strong differences.  The biggest one I noticed is that the marriage equality petition does not carry a 'donate' link.  What a difference a little word makes!

The difference is integrity, honour: not wanting our friends, family, neighbours and colleagues to be discriminated against.  I find some of the arguments for what is often referred to as 'traditional' marriage rather strange.  This tradition thing has changed so much over time that using this as an argument is ludicrous (it used to be legal for a grown man to marry a little girl, the age a girl could be married off was ridiculously low! The C4EM site quotes a few more reason to look into).  There are so many logical disconnects in what retired Archbishop Carey had to say, or the David Burrowes piece was very odd too (he seemed to say that now is not the time? If  not now, then when?).  None of it makes any sense.

Let's get this to more than 25,000 people!  The majority of British people do not wish to discriminate.
