Two of the same gender can't make babies. <br /><br />Sorry, I was just being my usual cranky and finicky self there. On the whole, I believe, that sexual orientation is nobody's business but my own and I repeat the old mantra: do what you like as long as you aren't hurting anyone else.<br /><br />I also left a comment on your last post www.

The BBC have been replaying important speeches. I was particularly struck by the one in which he was reacting to a controversy over a gay priest.
