Look at this: http://tinyurl.com/73u4t
I quote:
"Paintings of traditional wedding scenes have been removed from a register office in case they offend gay couples, it has emerged.
Gay 'weddings' will be introduced later this year
The pictures at Liverpool Register Office are being replaced with landscapes ahead of the introduction of "gay weddings" later this year.
Register officer Janet Taubman said the new paintings were less likely to offend.
She told the Liverpool Daily Post: "We had two pictures up before. In one room there is a picture of a signing of the register with a young bride.
"The other was of a Romeo and Juliet on a swing. They were innocent pictures but the new paintings are less likely to offend."
Gay weddings, or civil partnerships as the ceremony will officially be known, will take place from December 21.
The new law allows gay people to sign an official document in front of a registrar and two witnesses."
This is political correctness gone mad. I am very happy that gay couples may choose to marry. What I am not happy about is being blamed for removal of ordinary and normal paintings.
