Also, Too, Hitler

Really great argument there.

Dr John Sentamu, the second most senior cleric in the Church of England, said marriage must remain a union between a man and a woman.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, the archbishop said marriage is set in history and the state cannot change it overnight.

He said: "I don't think it is the role of the state to define what marriage is. It is set in tradition and history and you can't just (change it) overnight, no matter how powerful you are.

"We've seen dictators do it in different contexts and I don't want to redefine very clear social structures that have been in existence for a long time and then overnight the state believes it could go in a particular way.
