Madam, – Maghnus Monaghan (August 7th) suggests that the campaign for marriage equality is led by a “Western liberal elite”. But, by definition, it is elitist to exclude one section of the population from privileges bestowed upon another.
A campaign for shared rights based on love seems to me to be just, pluralist and have genuine moral authority.
Perhaps in such debates we should remember the calling to be concerned for the beam in our own eye rather than the mote in another person’s eye. – Yours, etc,
