There is no such thing, and never can be any such thing as ‘gay marriage’.</p><p></p><p>'If the practice of homosexuality is acceptable, then in time any form of sexual deviation, perversion and experimentation will be acceptable, including the progressive lowering of the age of consent, taking it below the age of puberty, and thus legalizing paedophilia.'</p><p></p><p>A number of people in the area said that they had seen a 'sinister looking monk' delivering the leaflets.</p><p></p><p>A spokesperson from Brighton's police force said, 'Police received reports on Wednesday, July 30 that homophobic leaflets had been delivered in the Hanover area of Brighton.</p><p></p><p>'The PCSO for the area made contact with those who had reported the leaflets and the LGBT team at Brighton police station were made aware.'</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p></p><p> </p>
