Britain's House of Commons voted today to approve a bill that would allow same sex marriages by a vote of 366 to 161! But the fight for equality is now headed to the House of Lords were the bill is expected to fight very tough opposition. Despite Prime Minister David Cameron's hopes for approval of the bill, only 45% favor the bill while 48% have said they will deny it. That leaves only 7% who have yet to make up their minds. I only hope that the House of Lords realizes that not only is Britain's gay community watching, but so is the rest of the world. Will they show the world that Britain is set to evolve with the rest of the world, or are they steadfast in the past and willing to let their fears and rigidity keep them from becoming a key player as a world's example of leadership in humanitarian rights. We are watching Britain. Love to all.
