Christian coalition petitions to stop gay marriage law in The UK

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17102352

Christian campaigners are petitioning Prime Minister David Cameron to stop the introduction of same-sex marriage.

Coalition for Marriage (C4M) said it was emailing 175,000 people with a petition against the government's plan to legislate for gay marriage by 2015.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey backed C4M, saying the plan was a "hostile strike" on marriage.

But gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said C4M's stance on marriage was homophobic and discriminatory.

"The Coalition for Marriage is intolerant and out of touch," Mr Tatchell said.

"Coalition members are entitled to believe that same-sex marriages are wrong, but they are not entitled to demand that their opposition to such marriages should be imposed on the rest of society and enforced by law."

I remember on of NOM's projects was called 2M4M (2 million for marriage), but it's more common meaning in personal ads meant two gay men were looking for another for a threesome.

I ask just because I love little mistakes like this.
