It seems that people accept that, for instance, the Muslim religion would not allow it, but see no problem with forcing the Christian church to do it. If a gay couple are religious, want to marry in a register office and have a church blessing, then would that not be enough? Many divorced heterosexual couples do this.

A good point, but it has to start somewhere. I'll get them bloody muslims

Probably a poor choice of emoticon, really...
