Ophelia Benson on the religious reaction to civil partnerships: “We don’t want religious pseudo-reasons for public policy, we want real reasons, based on actual arguments. But we don’t get them - not from people who think their ‘faith’ is reason enough. That’s because they don’t have any. All they ever manage to come up with is meaningless hand-waving about the family.” The precious, precious family. Unless the government bow to the demands of bigots, all families are going to just disappear in a puff of smoke?
