    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.
    Home Page:
    Clearly nobody has actually read the story. It's the church worrying about "what if this legislation allowing gay people to class themselves as 'married' results in some reactionary gay couples demanding to be married in church"? It's not about gays demanding to be married in church. That's not what the legislation is about, and it's not waht gay couples have been asking for.

    Still, anything that upsets organised religion and highlights their dark ages mentality is fine by me.

    laughing! I am hetro, men have never done it for me to be honest!

    I just think it's up to the church, as marriage is between a man and a woman by definition

    I'm sorry but if I ever were going to go the other way, I don't think you'd be the first on my list!

    But then the person is not a man or a woman.... it's all so confusing really. I suppose unless you're that person you can't really understand it!

    There are some people on here who are either incrediblely insecure about their own sexuality or are staggeringly backwards.

    Anyway, in response to some of the more intelligent posters who have had a reasoned debate isn't the real point that religion should be tolerated but has no place in the function of the state so lets just seperate the two?

    i'm all for freedom of religion, but not at the expense of freedom FROM religion.

    various churches and cults have been extracting the urine for centuries.

    they should pay taxes, stop moaning about discrimination, and while they're at it, stop discriminating themselves. when god, yawhweh, the FSM or Thor turns up and puts us straight (no pun intended), then they can state things with authority. until then, they should stfu, and stop being prejudice.

    if someone wants to get married, let them. even that nutter who married a building recently.

    Agreed but not sure what good it does. If you think it's bad here look at the US where they have seperation of church and state yet have more arguments over it than we do here.

    Agreed.

    At the end of the day, the Church of England are a business. A multi million pound business. They charge money for getting married in their property. If I was a hotel owner and refused to allow a gay couple to stay in my hotel I'd be charged with discrimination, and rightly so. They should be the same.

    Times have changed. People need to get on with it.

    Very good point. Mind you I suppose we as a society are far more apathetic to religion and consequently the church need to cling to their involvement in the state to remain relevant

    God doesn't like it

    The church can't argue with their gaffer can they?

    I personally don't care what people do in the privacy of their own homes and gay couples certainly should be allowed the same legal standing as heterosexual couples, married or otherwise.

    On the other hand, surely the church should have the right to decide who they will marry on their property?

    As an atheist I got married in a registry office and very nice it was too.

    Yes you are confusing the role of the state and peoples entitlement to religeous beliefs
    The church as an organisation believes that God defined marriage as a relationship between man and woman with the aim of producing children.
    you may not agree with that definition but that is the definition that the Church itself goes by so to have a religious marriage ceremony in a chuch which doesnt believe it is valid makes no sense.

    The state also allows marriage outside chuches and so if it does legalise gay marriage (as opposed to gay civil partnerships which are effectively the same thing as far as I can tell) then the state also will provide plenty of ways gay couples can tie the knot
