Today the Queen opeend Parliament, nad made a whole bunch of pronouncements. Which included telling the government to give gay couples the same rights as married couples. As Queen, she's aloud to do that, insit on legislature at least being debated, if not passed.

Unfortunately, the suggested bill is full of rather large holes, which makes it look a bit like they're not really trying. No 'next-of-kin' status, adultery and non-consumation do not constitute as divroce grounds... in fact, the word 'amrriage' will be no longer applicable in a strictly legal sense, which of course is going to cause huge uproar (thank you Daily Mail) and, well, I don't think they're too keen on this whole bit of legislator.

But still, very pleased something is going to happen. Go Queen!

Now, did she decide that on her own, or was she told to do it?

Whatever, go Queen!

funnily enough, i have a suspicion that the speech is actually written for her by the government. Or possibly by hte palace. not sure which.

I'd love to hear a speech written solely by the queen. there's got to be a lot she wants to say by now that no one's ever let her.

I think she's too much part of the old way of life for that. There might be a lot she wants to say, but even if she's given the chance she'll never say it because it's not her place to do so.

YAY! Clearly Prejudiced Bush's visit has made her look at the way her country is going. Either that or Prince William's about to come out.

I found it a bit timely after all that debate over whethre Prince Charles is bisexual. Maybe he's going to ditch whatshername for a young man...
