ten years ago same-sex marriage was on the cards ... no crystal ball required.

what is surprising is that it is a Conservative motion

says more about the changing face of Conservatism in UK than social trends

Maybe. There may be hidden forces in play. For example, in an underpopulated ancient mideast agrarian tribal society, population growth was valued, and anything that might reduce it, like homosexuality taking the place of heterosexuality, would become taboo.

As we approach 7 billion people and begin to put stress on the planet, anything that might reduce population growth might become more acceptable.

But if it doesn't help because it is resisted by the cultural throwbacks to the early agrarian tribes, the end times might be nearer than we think. Too much hetero sex, especially without birth control, might be a disaster.

But all will eventually balance out.

To be honest, I think the gubbamint's dragged it's feet a bit, I thought this would happen during the 90s.

Yes, that was my point.

Yes I agree.

It was the Conservative bit I was trying to make a point about.

Weird also because more than half the Conservatives voted against their own party's motion.

Actually not weird. It was a "free vote" which means the Party Whips were
withdrawn and MPs were allowed to vote governed by their own conscience and
not Party Policy. I'm surprised that only half voted against - but as I
indicated before the Conservative party has changed.

Or an increasing sense of tolerance and fair mindedness on the part of the society as a whole, like all political parties the conservatives are opportunistic by nature.

I was raised to be anti-gay. Kinda proud to over come.

in the beginning, when you were likely to be eaten by tigers before 20, it made sense you get started to making babies as soon as you are able.

I think it is more profound than that, just as people in general have come to realise that the tooth fairy is not real, they have also shrugged off the BS they were fed about homosexuality being a danger to society.

It is not the Gay vote that the Tories are courting but the vast majority of the electorate who do not have a bee up their ass about homosexuality and do not align themselves politically with those that do.
