A number of individuals tried to make my homosexuality a topic of debate. I admittedly found that rather upsetting.

As conservatives, we can only be glad if two people legally take responsibility for each other, in good times and bad.

One thing is for sure - if you are wearing a niqab, you will never, ever find a job. You will never, ever make friends, German friends or neighbors friends. So this is obviously something that is making integration impossible.

The reality is that most gay couples don't want to adopt a child. Those who do, though, are often prepared to devote themselves entirely to their adoptive child.

I'm a devout individual so I remain faithful to my church.

I've always felt at home in the Church. Catholics are often more laid back than they are given credit for - presumably because at the back of their minds they realize that, if necessary, they can always confess everything to their local priest.

I don't support gay marriage despite being a conservative. I support gay marriage because I am a conservative.
