Alexandra Mankowitz–Sexual apartheid causes suffering

Liberal Judaism, Quakers in Britain and the Unitarians are the only religious denominations to have voiced support for the Equality Bill amendment but only the Quakers, in calling for full marriage equality, have done what is right. All religious faiths should follow their lead and ask the Government to finally introduce full equality.

It isn’t very complicated. We’re all human beings. Our needs are very simple: somewhere to live, something to eat, someone to love. There’s no gay conspiracy. In asking for full equality we are not asking for much. It’s beyond me how my joy in love can diminish anyone else’s, and even less how it can bring them pain. I wonder how many lives those who oppose equality imagine they have, that they are prepared to lose both sleep and integrity obsessing over who is loving whom and how.

Read it all.
