Gay marriage
This might seem like an unquestionably basic right that any two (wo)men should have but in reality it infringes on the beliefs of many religious institutions so it’s open for debate even in 2021. What are your thoughts?

You ain't allowed thoughts on this subject on TIBB.

I say option one isn’t the best idea because rampant (and to the lay Brit. very extreme) homophobia (or at least disapproval of homosexuality) is the norm in a lot of churches (and mosques without a doubt). Forcing those institutions to marry two men would be an infringement on their own rights.

I think churches need to look at why in various accounts at least two thirds of marriages are now in registry offices NOT their churches.
Their houses seem to be in great disorder. Gay marriage is legal in the UK. Personally I'd doubt a high percentage of those wishing to marry, who are gay, would want to marry in a religious setting. However, if religions use their church settings to discriminate against a legal union between individuals. Then those religions will lose even more influence of the little they have now, particularly as to Christianity. I voted the second option however I do feel in time, unless the attitude changes, churches will lose more and more of its congregations yet. Deservedly so. |

I think your opinions about spirituality and how deeply-rooted it can be as far as familial works go (including marriage) is very Western-oriented so I don’t blame you for adopting that kind of approach. But know that your experiences aren’t the same as that of a lesbian Nigerian-Brit. who faces ostracisation from her community (more than you’d ever know) but is still brave enough to stand up for what she wants anyway. Or a gay Muslim lad who’d face deportation and rank abuse for coming out but still has respect for his religion. Those are things you can’t even begin to appreciate when you’re sat behind your screen presenting a holier-than-thou stance and obviously don’t have much real experience dealing with conflicted LGBT millennials from non-Western indigenous cultures. |

My daughter is marrying her partner Maddie next year, excellent news we are very happy for them.

All the Abrahamic religions are of the mind that marriage is between a man and a woman. I don't see why people should alter their religious beliefs unless all religions are required to do the same. Some Christians may eventually agree, I'm not sure Catholics would and I'm pretty sure Jews and Muslims would never accept it. I couldn't marry in a synagogue because my OH wasn't a Jew, I can't imagine what they'd have said if he had been a woman. All that said, I was best woman at my friend's same sex wedding and they are one of the happiest married couples I know. So in conclusion, I am 100% for gay people being allowed to marry the people they love. I don't think religions will ever accept it nor do I think they should be made to.

Personally, I would not marry a woman who is gay but i can see the attraction as the whole sex thing is a minefield and frankly i am happier watching Netflix tbh

Church weddings...meh.
It depends on what you want I suppose, gay or not.:shrug: |
It shouldn’t even be an issue this day in age.
There’s so much doom and gloom and horrific stuff going on every day in this world (religion included) that two people wanting to celebrate their love together, regardless of gender, and be happy should be celebrated. Same goes for gay adoption, which is still unnecessarily taboo. |
