Sir, - In response to Vera Hughes's letter of August 14th, I was delighted by the photograph of the gay couple in Germany cutting their wedding cake (The Irish Times, August 2nd).When so much of your paper contains reports on war, crime, cruelty, injustice, pollution, environmental disaster, etc., all of which are unfortunate evidence of our lack of love for each other and the world we live in, it is uplifting to see love celebrated in whatever form it comes. Go mbeanna∅ Dia iad. - Yours, etc.,
Mary O'Neill, Kenilworth Park, Dublin 6W.
