Law Society Backtracks.

A deal has been reached in a bitter fight between a Christian lobby group and the Law Society, after the legal organisation cancelled a planned conference on its premises to debate gay marriage.

In an apparent climb down by the Law Society, Christian Concern, which has long campaigned against gay marriage, will now be able to provide a speaker for a debate on the topic at an upcoming conference at the society's building.
A joint statement said the Law Society "welcomes bookings from Christian Concern in the future."
The cancelled May 2012 conference, promoted by the US-based World Congress of Families, had as its theme: "One Man. One Woman. Making the case for marriage, for the good of society.”
Among those due to speak were family division High Court judge Paul Coleridge, who had recently launched his Marriage Foundation charity which looks at the effects of divorce, and Telegraph journalist Cristina Odone.
But the Law Society cancelled the agreed conference last year, due to a conflict with the society's “role in promoting diversity.” Huffington Post.
