[Magdalen] Supreme Court

[Sally Davies]

Thanks for sharing that M, what a wonderful passage which well deserves its
popularity.

As to religious marriages - gay or straight - whilst these have aspects
that civil marriages wouldn't include, I certainly don't think that those
of us married under religious rites should aspire to LESS than the ideals
that Marshall set out for civil marriage.
