Tory MP Danny Kruger took flak for the comments he made in a speech at the National Conservatism Conference on Monday, according to the BBC.

“Marriage is not all about you,” he continued. “It’s not just a private arrangement. It’s a public act, by which you undertake to live for someone else, and for wider society; and wider society should recognize and reward this undertaking.”
