Marriage Campaign--
1. - From the Catholic Parliamentary Office—Support MSP for her traditional marriage views.
Proponents of same-sex marriage were quick to react to the views of Elaine Smith MSP who has expressed her support for traditional marriage. Although not used by most of society, Twitter is an influential social networking medium popular with politicians and campaigners. It has been immediately used to try and silence the MSP and her support for marriage. One contributor writes “And terribly sorry Elaine Smith, opposing equal marriage dose make you a homophobe, just as you’d be a racist if you opposed it on race.” And also “Elaine Smith is utterly vile”. Tom French who works for the so-called Equality Network has already called for LGBT Labour and Scottish Labour Students to boycott her re-election. This gives an insight in to the level of the intolerance which wants to purge public life of anyone who dares disagree with this radical social experiment. It is not surprising that few politicians have shown the same courage as Elaine Smith. Please give her your support for example you can comment on the news article at http://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/political-news/msp-attacked-after-objecting-to-same-sex-marriage-bill.21370982 or send a direct message to Elaine.Smith.msp@scottish.parliament.uk
