If anyone wants to understand the prejudice faced by the proponents of covenantal marriage, he need only read Adam Gopnik’s homily to religious conservatives in the BBC online magazine. Mr Gopnik scolds religious conservatives for our “persecution mania”. No temples, churches or mosques have been closed, he opines, since the Supreme Court changed America’s marriage laws.

Now that the American Supreme Court has mandated all 50 states to redefine marriage, Northern Ireland  seems to be the only patch of territory in the North Atlantic which does not legally recognise same-sex marriages. It would be easy to declare ourselves besieged by secularism and to issue dire apocalyptic warnings.
