Good for them. It is important that gays have the same rights as heterosexuals.

I note the similar elision between removing gender specific terms in the law as somehow banning an individual saying Mum to someone, and the article Rose published on Male Genital Mutilation that claimed that banning circumcision of non consenting males was banning Judaism. Both deeply dishonest.
