LYNNE Featherstone, the British government’s Equalities Minister who is leading the government’s campaign for same sex marriage, told Parliament recently that: “Religious people may continue to believe that marriage can be only between a man and a women. That is not the state’s view. We do not take the Orwellian view that “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others”.
The whole point of Animal Farm is a condemnation of arbitrary redefinitions by the state of fundamental norms in order to serve vested interests. This is exactly what Ms Featherstone is guilty of in her proposed rewriting of the centuries-old understanding of marriage in order to serve the vested interests of the homosexual lobby.
