The founder of Britain’s first fertility clinic for same-sex couples has criticised the 2014 introduction of same-sex marriage, saying it has led to a soaring divorce rate among lesbians.

The government is proposing new minimum standards for academies, free schools and independent schools which demand that they ‘actively promote’ equality, as defined by the Equality Act 2010.
The Coalition for Marriage believes this places huge pressure on these schools to promote same sex marriage. David Cameron and many others justify redefining marriage on the grounds of equality.
