Queenelizabeth Says She Won ’tsupport Gay Marriage:pics by Nobody: 10:02pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
Queen Elizabeth II opposed the legalization of same -sex
marriage in England because of her deeply held
Christian values, a close friend has reportedly told a
London-based newspaper .
Britain’ s Queen Elizabeth smiles during a Queen ’s Trust
visit to the Lister Community School in London , Britain ,
March 3, 2016 .
The UK Daily Mail published a story Sunday which
claimed that the queen, who is also head of the Church
of England , secretly opposed gay marriage but was in
favor of civil partnerships . The unnamed “friend ” said
the monarch was frustrated by the fact that she could
only “advise and warn ” on the issue
“It was the ‘ marriage’ thing that she thought was
wrong, because marriage ought to be sacrosanct
between a man and a woman , ” said the friend , as
quoted by the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail also stated that the reported revelation
of her views on the definition of marriage was part of
an overall series of stories about the queen as she
nears her 90th birthday .
“Following extensive interviews with courtiers past and
present, friends of the queen and family members , we
can also reveal one of her most senior former aides
believes it was a mistake not to lower the Buckingham
Palace flag after Princess Diana ’ s death — and that he
is convinced the queen now shares this view , ”
In March of 2014 , England and Wales legalized gay
marriage, one month after Scotland did the same .
Northern Ireland is the only member nation of the U . K .
that has not done likewise
“Those in civil partnerships can choose to convert their
relationships to marriage, via a procedure expected to
be in place by the end of the year , but are under no
obligation to do so, ” reported the BBC .
“The law prohibits the Church of England from
performing same -sex weddings , and allows other
religious organisations to refuse to perform them. ”
The Daily Mail’ s story about the queen opposing the
legalization of gay marriage has not gone unchallenged ,
as The Daily Beast published an article Monday
rejecting the U. K. publication ’s claim.
Authored by Tom Sykes , the rebuttal piece quotes and
cites unnamed senior personnel from
Buckingham Palace, with one staffer as saying, “It
seems unlikely that one of her friends would pass on
her thoughts to The Mail, ” and another calling the piece
“spurious and unsubstantiated . ”
“Palace staff — many of whom are gay — are
hamstrung by the fact that the queen maintains strict
political neutrality and would never publicly comment
either way about issues such as same - sex marriage, ”
The Daily Best reported .
