What's it Like for Gays and Atheists in the UK?

We’re over here talking about this woman down in Kentucky who doesn’t want to grant marriage licenses to gays and I thought I’d see more of you, but I guess maybe some of you don’t think what goes on in the US has very little to do with you.

That made me wonder, what’s it like for gays and atheist across the pond. Here in the land of the fucking free people have to shed so much blood, sweat and tears just to earn the right to be treated like human beings.

I’m not surprised that it’s the Church at the forefront of the fight against human rights, after all, these same motherfuckers were heartbroken when forced to let my mother ride the front of the bus.  

Are people free anywhere on this planet? Are Christians fighting everywhere to return to the days when they could burn people at the stake?

Each part of the UK is different, in my area Islam would be a way bigger problem than Christianity for a gay person. 

 In other places around here there's African communities that are very old school Christian and I imagine they aren't too fond of gay marriage or gay people

But then gay people have probably always had some sort of negative treatment because they're in the minority in most populations of people, unless the location is a gay night club, or the gay village in Manchester, places like that. We do have gay pubs even in my little town and I think the average none religious person here doesn't care too much about sexuality.
