| KylieDog said: No, marraige stems from the church and gays are not to be married in one. Civil partnership to legally recognise to the law is enough, if they want their own cerimony that is fine too but not a wedding. I'm not anti gay at all, I'm not religious at all either, but I respect peoples religious beliefs and allowing gays to marry is effectively breaching past various religions laws, they do not have that right. They do have the right to have a legally recognised partnership though. |
Marriage doesn't stem from the church and it doesn't need to be conducted in one, or approved by any.
Though I'm fully of the opinion that if a church doesn't support gay marriage, they are in their right not to allow such ceremonies to be held in it. But that's where it ends for the church's rights.
edit: I suppose one thing the Christian church especially can fight for is the "holy matrimony" label.
