Gay Rights: Tying the Knot, which you can listen to at the BBC website for another 10 days or so, is a great piece of radio. It’s also a superb primer on the differences between Britain and America, two places that often seem very similar but are incredibly different in certain key ways.

I listened to all of the 38 minutes, which is about the UK.

I might have missed any reference to the US, but maybe there is a world outside of the US? Just thinking.

Slate is U.S. media. Slate readers generally know about the U.S. gay marriage story but not so much about the U.K. gay marriage story. Publications introduce things differently depending on their audience. That is the end of today's session of Elementary Media 101.

And I thought the BBC was British. Thanks for your lesson.

Anyway, when reading the Slate article, there is still no comparison, just a report about England and Wales.

Never mind....
