| 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. |
If you have a religious wedding, you have your big wedding ceremony at home or at a church, and then you go fill out your legal marriage paperwork at a courthouse so that the government will recognize it.
The big religious wedding ceremony part is optional. The courthouse part is not.
I was married in a courthouse, and in my neighborhood there are gay churches that gladly performed gay marriages when it was legal in California.
And I'm a legally married atheist. If you want marriage to be a religious ceremony, straight atheists are worse than religious gays.
