Back in 2005 our dear conservatives put up a fuss when the socialist government approved our gay marriage law, taking the law to our constitutional court (which waved it through), and organizing several demos alongside the Spanish Catholic Church.

Ten years later, president Rajoy and several big profile government and party types have attended the marriage of one of the party's regional leaders, who is gay. A spokesman said that the party's view on the issue has "evolved" and now they support gay marriage. They are late to the party, but they are welcome.

You forgot to mention that Rajoy got seated on the "Celine Dion" table. 

All the stupid stuff they said about it is still on record, though, and many of the ones that took the law to the Constitutional Court are still holding office, Rajoy himself included. Also, I guess that Fernández Díaz is still claiming to be against it because it doesn't guarantee the continuation of the human race.

Fernández Díaz, not even the USA puts its crazy Bible thumpers in positions of so much power. When he compared abortion with terrorism

Probably deputising for Shelf here, Brian Sewell RIP. 

Brian Sewell was Britain's most famous and controversial art critic.

Possessed of forthright opinions and a fine disregard for the art establishment, he succeeded in sharing his fascination for all things cultural in a manner that was extremely contagious.

The combination of his high-pitched plummy voice and singular style of presentation made his television programmes compulsive viewing for millions.

His gleeful and often scathing dismissal of anyone who held a view other than his own made his newspaper columns delightful and infuriating in equal measure.

Brian Sewell was born on 15 July 1931. Brought up in London, he discovered much later in life, that his father was a minor composer named Philip Heseltine, better known by his alter ego Peter Warlock.

His mother, whom Sewell described as something of a "girl about town", was one of a number of Warlock's mistresses and the couple never married.
