"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

Yup, in England the qualified marriage giver must also sign the document along with the participants and some witnesses. You could have a full church wedding and not be legally married, if this part isn't done. Or you can just do the legal bit and go home.

I realized what is going on here, I think. RR and people like him don't want to be associated with gays through the word marriage. They want it clear that "their" marriage is different.

In which case I say we let them create their own word.  Like Christian-Union.  They can have Christian unions, and everyone else can have marriage.  That way, we're not associated with them.

Lol sure, fair enough! Nothing stopping them doing that.

I'd love to know in what way a same-sex marriage is actually different. "Marriage is all about differing genitalia" doesn't exactly hold much water. Seriously, that's the focal point? Not, like... the relationship between the people, or anything?
