A note on the definition of marriage itself: Of course, the extension of marriage to homosexuals in recent years has been met with controversy among conservative circles. On the one hand, the marriage of homosexuals has slightly increased the prevalence of marriage among the general population; on the other hand, marriage has traditionally existed for the natural procreation of children, and representation of the divine and unique link between male and female. Due to the strength and stability of marriage itself, and state encouragement of otherwise unstable homosexual relationships to enter this union, some conservatives have praised the redefinition of marriage in this way. For the reason above, I have always personally opposed the move to redefine marriage; however, so long as the heterosexual community continues to turn away from marriage for the six reasons listed at the start of this chapter, I and people like me cannot really blame homosexuals for wanting to have access to such a special and eternal commitment. Attitudes towards marriage must change if the institution is to have any meaningful bearing in society once again.

This information is sourced from two places: the quarter of a million figure is that estimated by the UK charity Shelter at the end of 2016; the information regarding race, somewhat ironically, is taken from an article in the UK Guardian by Kevin Gulliver (6th July 2017) claiming that the homeless problem was ‘racist’ since 36% of homeless people were non-white and in some cases non-British. If anything, the fact that something like 64% of the homeless are white British raises more questions concerning citizenship and governmental loyalty than it does about ingrained racism.
