One may argue that a Christian has a choice whereas a homosexual may not. I don't necessarily (sp) agree with that as life is not black and white. Many people enter a homosexual lifestyle through choice, many do not.
I'm a Christian. I find the whole issue to depend on your definition of marriage. Marriage to me is a religious ceremony where the man and woman agree to cherish eachother in the sight of God and ask God to bless their marriage. Accordingly, a Christian marriage is not something the Church would offer a same sex couple.
I believe there should also be a proper civil partnership scheme.
If the same sex couple want a christian wedding then I think they've chosen the wrong faith.
If you believe the church should be offering same sex marriages then that's up to you. I'll guarantee that most of the people saying the church shoul offer gay marriages are not commited christians or only attend churches for births, deaths and marriages.
