Good for Peter Hitchens, about whom I have blogged before. He was on the Today programme this last Sunday morning, defending marriage as between a man and a woman. Apparently there is pressure mounting to change the status of civil partnerships to actual "marriage". This is no surprise. Hitchens, a convert to Anglican Christianity, was challenged on his view: was this battle for "equal rights" not just the same as the battle for racial equality, for the right of those of different races to marry each other?
