Be careful what you say

Apparently heterosexuals can behave in a gay way during the very act of marriage. That's right, they might use the word partner. Perhaps The Dark Lord, otherwise known as our Attorney General, should read Annabelle Crabbe's article about Gay marriage in Britain. Apparently the sky hasn't fallen in. What has collapsed is our fundamental right to free speech - and not just in marriage ceremonies. It is now ILLEGAL to discuss euthanasia using a phone, fax or email. I assume even speaking of it would be made illegal if that could be monitored. Let me be frank, I am very uneasy about euthanasia. I am about a million-times uneasier with the fact that we now live in a society which is legislating against the words we use to get married, or to consider how it is we might choose to end our life.
