I kind of think this is all a bit of a moot point and I've never understood why there's such clamour for gay marriage. The religious bodies that oppose it aren't going to suddenly become tolerant because of legislation; so if they refuse service to gay couples are they going to be harangued through equality laws until they're forced into it? What if they say no and gay couples aren't able to get a marriage anywhere in the country? Then they have a 'right' that they can't actually have. It's a total stand off and I just think it's pointless. Half the people who get married in a church only do so because they want the big white dress in a grand hall, not because they're religious - there's such a crisis of faith in the UK that that's my honest opinion. Argh I could rant about this for hours, it's such a pointless struggle for nothing. Either way, one group will be left very bitterly disappointed by legal outcomes.
