They said nothing about gay marriage Dotard, they had the opinion that homosexuality was plain wrong. An opinion likely heavily influenced by their religion. The courts have decided that the prejudice they have because of their religion does not trump secular law in the U.K... so the discriminatory views they hold are not going to be tolerated just because of their religion, a great precedence to be set. I see this as no different to telling a racist couple they can't foster kids. This is anti-homophobia and a boost for a even more secular society, it is not anti-Christian. Just so happens these homophobes are of the Christian variety.
