David McLetchie opposed to redefining marriage

14 January 2012

The former leader of the Scottish Tories opposes the change in the definition of marriage.

Homosexual activists are targetting MSPs and have highlighted David McLetchie’s opposition to their plans.

The homosexual Pink Paper states that “Equal Marriage was a manifesto commitment of the ruling SNP administration”.  The wish is the father of the thought.  Rather, the SNP Manifesto pledges to have a consultation on the subject: “We recognise the range of views on the questions of same-sex marriage and registration of civil partnership. We will therefore begin a process of consultation and discussion on these issues.”

In stating his case, Mr McLetchie said: “I welcome the establishment of civil partnerships in Scotland”, and goes on to argue that there is no need to change the definition of marriage.  This emerging line of reasoning will not hold the line when it comes to the debate.  First, everyone knows this, but it has not prevented this campaign which has the support of all the major parties.  It will be interesting to see what line the new Scottish leader will take.  The SCP has already pointed out that the Scottish Tories have been neutered on this subject by David Cameron’s gagging order, and Ruth Davidson is Cameron’s acolyte.

Secondly, the SCP submission has pointed out that “civil partnership is a misnomer; the proper term is homosexual partnership. A true civil partnership would not define the partnership by sexuality.”  The SCP has argued for proper equality instead of the current inequality favouring one group.

Redefining of our language is impoverishing our language.  People find that they can no longer use certain words according to their former meaning because they have been adopted or ostracised by the aggressive homosexual lobby.  If politicians try to redefine marriage, they are attempting more than they are capable.

As far as we know, the Scottish Christian Party is the only political party in Scotland which is opposing the defining of marriage.  UKIP, the BNP and other minor parties which don’t feature strongly in Scottish politics are undeclared on the issues that matter.
