Gay church 'marriages' set to get the go-ahead

Here we go! The quotation marks around 'marriages' in the BBC news headline speaks volumes.  See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12442375 for more details. Comments please.

  1. Yes, I liked that.

    The Torygraph article you posted had the line: "Some critics fear the reforms could pave the way for legal challenges that would force vicars to conduct homosexual “wedding” ceremonies against their will."

    I liked both the "apostrophes" and also the notion that the ceremonies themselves might be homosexual.

    Language is both powerful and revealing.
