Most British people 'would vote to leave EU' - says Tory MEP [Published Public Service Europe - May 22 2013]

And in response to that, I had one email from a man who wrote: "I was particularly touched at your reference to a couple enduring dementia - this is precisely what my parents are now facing after 54 years of marriage. The example they have shown me over my lifetime and now that my mother suffers with the disease is precisely what marriage is all about. I try every day to live up to their example, as I enjoy a wonderful relationship with my partners whom I love very much. I expect in this day and age, and for generations to come, that we should be able to have our commitment to each other acknowledged in law in an equal way with our straight friends. Your argument is truly Christian in nature, entirely humanist and on the right side of history. My partner and I, our families, and our future children thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
