It was, I believe, the Labour politician Harriet Harman who coined the phrase "the court of public opinion" or, if she didn't, certainly brought it to the notice of that same public. She, of course, was comparing such a "court" with the established legal systems of the UK (plural because, of course, Scotland has its own separate system!). However, it would be good if politicians, today, were to take some heed to what the public thinks about the issue of same-gender "marriage".
In another of the Coalition for Marriage's "Marriage Minutes", Dr Sharon James looks at public opinion on the subject - and also at how those who are pushing for marriage to be redefined, skew poll results by the content of their questioning!
Please feel free to copy any, or all, of these "Marriage Minutes" to your own blog, website, or social media site.
