I usually do agree, but I am not actually sure in this instance. I think if anything (and may have said elsewhere a while back) this will go the way of abortion, where states get to choose.

However, I think they'd have a really hard time implementing such an overturning here in the UK. Attitude towards gay marriage is really strong, a very small percentage of the population care. Around 77% of the country support it and that figure has remained consistent for a long while.

I think even if Nigel Farage got into power, the most right-wing politician likely to do so, he would quite probably just leave it alone. It's not worth the fight for him and there isn't the same strength or passion on opposition here than in the USA.

However the fact that I say that with little confidence is telling, and that it could ever be a conservation on the table shows why pride matters and why sexuality is political. Governments make homosexuality political by constantly talking about it.

….hmmmmmm, I’m not entirely confident either, like Mock…you know the saying…whenever America sneezes, the UK catches cold….

I'm glad that this country supports people's freedoms by such a large margin.

Tbh I have no real issues with Pride personally, it's not really harming my life so I've never really saw the issue with it's existence.
