Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir, Before we hear any more espousing of the "orthodox, traditional Christian" position on homosexuality from the likes of Sir Patrick Cormack, Sir Patrick might want to acquaint himself with the full implications of such a position.
The traditional condemnation of homosexuality rests on exactly the same theological justification as does that of usury: that both practices violate the law of nature, which no one has believed in seriously for some 350 years. Dante places usurers and sodomites in the same circle of hell because the former make fertile something (money) which should be sterile; sodomites make sterile something (the sexual relationship) which should be fertile.
I await with eager anticipation Sir Patrick's traditional Christian comments on the City.
