| mesoteto said: however if a gay couple would like to use a church and the state say same sex marriage is legal they could draft the paper work and force the church to let them use the space even more so if its in public domain like many church that worship out of community centers and such and while this would be a big loss for religious faith it would be one more law that limits faith i love how you seem die hard to defend one side and freedoms but not the other but what do i know i am a child to you remember |
No. No they can't. Even if they could, who would want to get married somewhere that people don't want them?
Gay marriage has been legal in Canada since 2005. We didn't implode. People didn't lose their jobs. Priests didn't go on murder sprees. Everything is normal. Gay couples want the same rights as straight couples get. Adoption rights, hospital visitation rights, the comfort in knowing that if something happens to you, your partner is taken care of.
I don't know why you're so hung up on churches anyways. People don't have to married in a church. Ellen Degeneres and Portia DeRossi got married in their backyard. I don't know who married them, and even if it was a priest, they did it under their free will because he or she wanted to.
It's people like you that make me ashamed I'm a Christian.
