The church would be nothing but a spiritual binding - it would have no legal standing in court and you'd still have to apply with the state to merge your property and everything else.
Also, there is no goddamn gay agenda.
I would agree as long as a Church marriage had equal status to a civil union. Which is basically what we already have in the UK. Gay couples can have civil partnerships which give them all the same protection in law as married couples. They just want to rock the boat a bit more
Which is why marriages of ALL kinds should just be plain simple "civil unions." If you want to do the "holy matrimony" thing, that's your prerogative, and, yeah, government shouldn't really have a say in that.
