When accused of "forcing" same-sex marriage on Britain, Nick Clegg gave an amazing response.
Tweeting from his official account, Mr Clegg responded to a poster from the adamantly anti-gay Coalition for Marriage, which accused him of "forcing same-sex marriage on Britain"
The posted went on: "Use your vote for true marriage at the general election on 7 May."
Don't think I've actually forced anyone into a same-sex marriage but proud to have given people the choice though. pic.twitter.com/L5vIlZp0Mi
Mr Clegg tweeted a photo of the poster with a message which simply read: "Don't think I've actually forced anyone into a same-sex marriage but proud to have given people the choice though".

The Coalition for Marriage, which failed to stop the introduction of marriages equality – is now trying to void the marriages of gay and lesbian couples who have already married.
They have also delivered leaflets praising a MPs who voted against equality , and urged all followers in Brighton to vote for anyone else but Tory candidate Simon Kirby for voting for same-sex marriage, despite that all other candidates from all other parties also supported it .
Mr Clegg became the first main party leader to back same-sex marriage in a PinkNews readers' Q&A in 2010.
On answering PinkNews readers’ questions, he announced his support for equal marriage, saying: “I support gay marriage”.
He later reiterated his support for marriage equality between gay and straight couples in England and Wales, affirming that it was no longer a question of ‘if’ the move will go ahead.
