Honestly, the only reason they can't write down a bill and pass it in a week is that people are insisting it inhibits religious freedom not to give marriages despite the fact that it says quite clearly that nobody has to give a ceremony they don't want to give. |
Incorrect. It would conflict with the law that says you can't discriminate based on sexual orientation, specifically, when providing a good or service (marriage ceremony). As the churches would clearly be denying the 'sale' because of orientation it would be illegal.
If religion is a suitable legal reason for discriminating, then I hereby invent HateBlackPeopleIsm, whereby my shop doesn't serve people with dark skin because it is against the decree of our holy scripture.
