Judge In Britain Dismisses Case For Recognition Of Gay "Marriage"

Who knew there was a conservative in Britain, let alone a conservative judge? Reports Fox News:

A British judge on Monday dismissed a bid by two female professors to have their same-sex wedding in Canada recognized as a marriage in Britain.

Judge Mark Potter, head of Britain's High Court Family Division, dismissed the claim by Sue Wilkinson and Celia Kitzinger that in defining their relationship as a civil partnership — rather than a marriage — Britain had violated their human rights.

Granting their request would risk undermining the time-honored institution of marriage, he said.

"To accord a same-sex relationship the title and status of marriage would be to fly in the face of the (European) Convention (on Human Rights) as well as to fail to recognize physical reality," Potter wrote in his ruling.

Looks like sound legal philosophy to me! Now, if only we could get a few more judges like that here in the States, you know, the kind who uphold the law, rather than write it.

The sob story continues:

"We are deeply disappointed by the judgment, not just for ourselves but for other gay couples and families," Wilkinson said after walking from the courtroom hand in hand with her partner.

"It perpetuates discrimination and it sends out the message that lesbian and gay marriages are inferior."

Well, gay "marriage" is inferior, isn't it? The only real purpose of civil marriage is the creation and rearing of children, something gay couples really can't do. Sorry to rain on your gay parade, Ms. Wilkinson, but if it really takes the word "marriage" to make you happy about your life-commitment, what does that really say about you as a person?
