'Orangeman defies Order for gay daughter's wedding'
« on: February 26, 2018, 04:29:42 PM »

(Note not Donald Trump) I I think that it's indicative of movement within the Orange order that this has been (A) done and (B) not denounced. Small steps....

Well, at least it wasn't in an RC church.....he'd have been in trouble then if it had.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

He is ok with a lesbian daughter, but still hates RC's. I cannot say that is earth shattering.

I was being ironic, Humph. The Billyites condemn any of the numpties daft enough to be members of their club who commit the ultimate sin...... ......attending a Roman Catholic service. Seriously; that's part of their rules. Any Orangeman who so much as sets foot in an RC church must be subjected to discipline by the 'lodge'. "Nuts" doesn't come close.
