But of course religion just couldn't pass up the opportunity to control yet another aspect of peoples lives could they?
And why shouldn't two people regardless of sexual orientation be married in any way they wish?
Apart from the reasons of your obvious homophobic bigotry and the churches outdated angry desert deity credo?
Firstly marriage is a religious sacrament but can also be a civil marriage, which is essentially the same as a civil partnership, I'm perfectly happy with all of that.
Secondly what if the two people in question decide that they want to be married in a Catholic Church? Do you think it is a gay couples right to be married in a Catholic Church if they so wish?
Ad hominem attacks are so uncalled for and indicative of the losing side of an argument...
