Yeahyeah good point, ITV premium phone lines, terrible scandal, etc. And I’m sure there’s so many whats-her-names in the world that this one shouldn’t be quite so surprising, and clearly I am coming from not a typical position, but really, lady, is it SO hard to say to your son, sometimes mummies and daddies love each other very much, and sometimes two daddies love each other too. Or SOMETHING like that. Surely, surely, surely, it can’t be that hard to get one’s head around.
I am, on the whole, rather blasé about feminism and gay rights and all of this stuff that really I probably should care about, and I think that might be because I have grown up and had it all handed to me on a plate – a single sex grammar school obsessed with the advancement of women in the world, The Guardian as pretty much prescribed reading for me and all of my friends, the right (or wrong, as you like to see it) role models at the right (or wrong) times. But this is the kind of thing that makes me slightly riled, just basic problems with people’s THINKING.
And I suppose that’s why most people care about the whole rights stuff, eh? Maybe I should listen more in school.
