Distinction between libertarianism & secularism

Sir, It is clear from the writings of the likes of Peter Tatchell that the proposed gay marriage drive is a trojan horse. Like the computer version it is a virus. The idea that it has anything to do with equality is quite false

It is sad that so many fail to distinguish between libertarianism and fundamentalist secularism.

The gay community is free to choose its lifestyle. That is libertarianism. That others, God included, are free to disagree with that lifestyle is also libertarianism. Pouring Vitriolic on those who express differing views is not libertarianism but is fundamentalist secularism.

Gay activist Peter Tatchell has written reams (www.petertatchell.net). These indicate that he regards marriage as an oppressive regime with gay marriage the first step in its destruction. He also wants destruction of the nuclear family and wants a sexual free-for-all.

Mr Tatchell is no champion for the Gay community and actually does them a disservice. A great many live quietly in civil partnerships without challenging us. They know where we stand and we have no need to challenge them. We may not like it but they have total freedom to disagree.

It is disappointing to see so many within the Church champion the cause of gay relationships, oblivious to the fact that the likes of Mr. Tatchell are using it as a trojan horse to try to destroy marriage.
