This is not good at all for the world.

People don't choose to be gay.

Speaking as someone who is gay, if I were to have a child and he or she were to be gay or lesbian, I'd want him or her to live in a society that is tolerant of sexual minorities and which provides comprehensive legal rights to guarantee non-discrimination at work, in criminal justice and in terms of things like immigration.

It is encouraging that Britain is moving in that direction.
