"The Western Isles is to become the only region in Britain to ban gay wedding ceremonies, it emerged yesterday. Councillors in Stornoway have expressed support for the islands' registrars who are refusing to perform civil partnership ceremonies, which can be held across Scotland from tomorrow. The local authority's stance contradicts Scottish Executive policy on the provision of ceremonies for same-sex unions, and has attracted criticism from gay rights campaigners. "
What to do about Stornoway? Some of the nicest people in the world, but also some of the most intolerant Christians around...
