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.
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.
Yes, I liked that.

Language is both powerful and revealing.
