Feminist Times & The Fox Problem debate LGBT marriage

Feminist Times in association with awesome all-girl online telly show The Fox Problem put on a panel discussion in London this week: "Is same sex marriage just a distraction?"

I chaired and you'll hear me babble on as I was star struck by LGBT campaigner and legend Peter Tatchell (anyone who has attempted a citizen's arrest on Robert Mugabe deserves a knighthood in my book), trans woman, poet and activist Roz Kaveney, hot lesbian couple Gemma Rolls-Bentley & Danielle Wilde who are blogging their impending nuptials for Stylist Magazine, feminist blogger and polyamorist Zoe Stavri, and The Fox Problem's very own Georgie Okell on the line from New York via Skype.

The debate swung from, "why should there be one rule for some and another for others" to "same sex marriage discriminates against those who aren't in two person relationships and make them even more 'abnormal'" to "marriage is outdated and should be outdated altogether and replaced with a modern contract that covers everything for everyone" with Peter and Roz providing incredible facts about when the subject was put on the LGBT agenda and why, historically, it's a huge achievement.
