Daily Mail columnist: ‘Church’s opposition to gays marrying shows its irrelevance’
A columnist for The Daily Mail has published a blistering attack on the Church of England and the Catholic Church for arguing against same sex civil marriage. Abjijit Pandya says “fear and disgust towards homosexuals” is “the last great prejudice of our times.”
The newspaper is more usually associated with the columnist Melanie Phillips, named Stonewall’s Bigot of 2011. The column was published this afternoon on the newspaper’s popular website, but it is not immediately clear if it will be re-published in the print edition.
The writer says that opposing same sex marriage “goes against the spirit of the humanist movement of the last five hundred years that has been, with enormous difficulty, moving man from barbarity to moral civilisation.”
