I thank the Member for giving way. I always think that it is interesting when people quote specific parts of the Bible because there are all sorts of parts in the Bible that can be taken out of context and actually advocate some quite strange things that are outdated now. However, one constant in the Bible is kindness, compassion and not judging, and loving your neighbour. I wonder how the Member applies those principles to something that, clearly, has clear tests by which it will need to be met. Is he conscious of the fact that there are actually people in the House who are homosexual and may find his narrative somewhat offensive?
