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Apart from the reasons of your obvious homophobic bigotry and the churches outdated angry desert deity credo?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
No it is not ...it was stolen from a pagan service denoting the inheritance of property.

As the Catholic church is the biggest franchise of paedophiles an d money launderers on the globe at the moment I fail to see why they are so reticent to make even MORE money from their fees for their services.
