Philip Hensher: Let's Make Some Noise

Do you think the noise of the gay marriage debate has outweighed its importance?
Oh, yes, gay people are always making too much noise, aren’t they?

Well, yes, many gay people are relatively noisy about gay rights. But others regard marriage as the reverse of freedom.
It’s about freedom of choice. I’m sorry if you think gay people make too much noise. We were forced to be silent until recently, you see.

Droll irony lost on stupid interviewer shock!
Well done, sir.
