For various reasons over

the last couple of weeks I have had much less time for the internet and blogging. Belatedly, from Jim Miller, here is an example of BBC bias from a couple of weeks back. I missed it then, but the issue is still current.

I think the B-BBC posters have between them the full range of possible opinions about gay marriage (my own view is the standard libertarian one, and Jim Miller mentions his own mixed feelings), but it is undeniable that the assumption that marriage can only lawfully be between a man and a woman was, as Jim says, nearly universal in all Western societies until only a generation ago and is still the majority opinion in the US. It is not by any stretch “radical” or unique to Republicans, or unique to Americans for that matter.
