Gay Marriage=smoking Ban?
a: Gay marriage ~
b: smoking ban
What: "If you talk to ministers just now, they say, "Gay marriage is like the smoking ban. People thought they were against it, but when it happened, they just accepted it." I cannot prove this wrong, but the triviality of the comparison makes me suspicious. Marriage is a great, big, deep subject. There is no crying need to change it just because a vociferous lobby says we must. I recommend a policy which should surely unite all conservatives, trad or modernising - masterly inactivity."
