“The sun will rise tomorrow. It always does, and all the wishing in the world for the way things were, or for what they could have been, won’t change that. It won’t change how things are.” ― Elizabeth Scott, Something, MaybeRead more quotes from Elizabeth Scott

Former New Zealand MP Maurice Williamson becomes gay icon in Japan

Maurice Williamson’s ‘big gay rainbow’ speech
When New Zealand MP Maurice Williamson made his “big gay rainbow” speech to the country’s parliament in 2013, he hoped it would influence the debate on same-sex marriage laws.
What he could not have predicted was that the same speech would see him become a gay icon in Japan four years later.
Mr Williams, who is now New Zealand’s Consul General to the United States, told fellow MPs that: “All we are doing with this bill is allowing two people who love each other to have that love recognised by way of marriage. That is all we are doing“.
“We are not declaring nuclear war on a foreign state. We are not bringing a virus in that could wipe out our agricultural sector for ever. We are allowing two people who love each other to have that recognized, and I can’t see what’s wrong with that for love nor money.
“But I give a promise to those people who are opposed to this bill right now. I give you a watertight guaranteed promise. The sun will still rise tomorrow.”
