Conservative MP Argues Gay Marriage Will Force Publishers to Alter Shakespeare

"No homo."

Sir Roger Gale, who has been North Thanet’s MP for nearly thirty years, writes in an opinion piece today that the “almost Stalinist” move to ensure forms accurately reflect spouse’s genders in the future would “rewrite history and tradition”.

Writing in the Thanet Extra, which can be read online, he says: “If we are to re-construct official and business documentation and to replace “Husband and Wife” with “spouses” and “partners” where will this stop? Will Shakespeare and Milton and The Holy Bible be re-written also? Will only “correctly” expurgated literature be allowed to be used in the classroom?”

Yes, Gale, you’ve done it. You’ve uncovered the top secret homosexual agenda. At the top of our list? The rewriting of classic pieces of literature and religious materials to include gender neutral pronouns. It’s all so obvious, really. Why nobody stumbled upon our nefarious plan before this is beyond us.

Gale, white knight for marriage that he is, has married and divorced not once, but two times each. So he’ll have to forgive the rest of us for taking his credentials on the topic of marriage under suspicion.
