Response to Arcanus - "Do Homosexuals have equal rights"

[Tiberius]

There is a simple solution to this that solves the problem for all parties:

Remove the government from anything to do with marriage. Let marriage be, as it always has been, a social / religious ceremony. If a church doesn't want to allow gay marriage, you can go to a church that does. Or, if no church will have you, organise a private ceremony yourself.

This way, no church can complain about being forced to perform gay marriages, yet gay marriages can still happen.
