CIVIL marriage, and RELIGIOUS marriage. You have a clear distinction.
"Same-Sex Couples would not be eligible for a religious marriage ceremony on religious premises and through religious means." HOME OFFICE
EXACTLY the problem is the term marriage, the proposals are to allow civil "marriages" for same sex couples, not civil "partnerships" how many times do I have to state this? If the proposals were to allow civil partnerships to be performed by religious institutions, fine. Its the use of the term marriage that is the problem
