I thought you were complaining about "afraid to offend" laws, what's the matter with racist language then? It's just another kind of political correctness. People shouldn't be so quick to take offence, that's what you're complaining right? Political correctness and people taking offence easily.
And the Tories, whilst they have messed around with the definition of marriage, at least they are looking to introduce tax breaks for married couples.
I'll try and convey this as clearly as I can: If a person comes in my face and calls me all sorts of names because of my skin colour, I won't like it but I won't sue them because like it or not, it's democracy! People are free to think as they wish...
But in Britain, offences are nowadays much more related to the so-called "gender equality" principle which is just the other name of feminism/homosexual propaganda in force. I am not making this up, trust me. THAT IS WHAT I talk about when I say "afraid to offend". The people of God are being assaulted everyday now to conform to the "British values" promoted by the Government, with of course gender equality as top on their priority list. You can pick up any paper(I read it everyday), you will see it for yourself. That's why Cameron's attempt to replace Human rights with British rights concerns me. You might think I am being dramatic, give the Conservatives six months and you'll see...
Right now they are reviving the debate about euthanasia with the weepy story of this man(in this week's Times issue) who had to flee "intolerant Britain" in order to commit assisted suicide in Switzerland, after he was told by doctors that he risked being paralysed. Beautiful excuse to enforce accelerated death in the country, only a few months after the subject was dropped in Parliament (I should know, I was present with the lobby group "not dead yet" to protest outside Westminster).
No doubt sis(or bro?) that euthanasia or, as they want to call it, "dignified death" will feature somewhere in the British rights bill. Probably right under the abortion law.
Theresa May was also asked on radio about the anti-extremist bill Cameron has proposed recently. She was specifically asked if people conversing and opposing verbally SSM should be deemed as extremists. The lady kept on dodging the question, insisting that people are entitled to have their opinion but they must comply with British values!Hmm...
Have you heard about that lady who was sacked from her nursery job after she answered her lesbian colleague about the Bible vews on same sex relationships? Or that woman who was sacked from her NHS job for "bullying" her Muslim colleague by praying for her? Or the Irish bakers who are fined by Court after they refused to promote a gay slogan on a wedding cake ordered by a homosexual couple? Tolerance did you say?
Here I was just giving you a handful of examples.
Question to you: do you understand the difference between calling homosexuality a sin and insulting a person on the basis of the appearance? Because God does: in one case you are speaking His truth; in the other one you are being mean and therefore breaching His commandment to love your neighbour as yourself. But in the eyes of the present day British ideology of tolerance, you are committing offence either way, especially if you dare touch the gay thing. Oh I forgot, you must not say a word about the "Prophet" and his followers (did you know Ed Miliband who is now out, had promised to make Islamophobia a crime?).

Enjoy discovering the true colours of democracy!
The Tories are not merely "messing around" with marriage, I am afraid to say: they are DESTROYING the meaning of it, its very sacredness. Oh I reckon they are not alone in this, and it certainly didn't start today: I was born in a generation which equates living with your partner to being married) while never quite stepping forward to perform the real thing (unless one finds out they are dying of cancer, another kind of story the papers specialise in). It's widely accepted as normal, and it is the first cause of the destabilisation of our "progressive" society.
