And I cant say Sayed and Christian being allowed to partake of a Muslim Wedding either in the next few hundred years.

True.

what always dont understand is the fact that a lot of the left wing people who campaign for gay marriage. Are the very same people who also say that marraige is a outdated institution that should be got rid of. Make up your mind

I don't think any gay campaigners are asking for every church to have to perform gay marriages. It's only about the government.

It would be like going to a Muslim mosque and demanding that they perform an exorcism on you. Well muslim mosques won't do that for you, because they don't believe in exorcism. If you want an exorcism, you have to go to a catholic priest.

I don't think gay people have a problem with some churches not performing gay marriages, we have a problem with the government not recognizing gay marriages from the churches that DO perform gay marriage.

I think they are asking for equality, not necessarily marriage. They are saying, eigther you acknowledge all marriages, or you acknowledge NO marriages. I know lots of people who would like the government to not acknowledge any marriage. Why should the government be involved with a religious institution at all? But if they allow it for str8 people, then they should allow it for gay people.

It's not really about marriage, or religion. It's about treating all people the same under the law. Equal rights.

No one cares about churches marrying gay people. This is the government. Cults can pretend their working with god from now until the cows come home. No1currs about them. They don't run society.
