Oh and not all Christian denominations believe exactly the same thing. Some have more modern liberal views then others and have no problem with homosexuality.
Another problem in the UK is that heterosexual couples even if they are non-religious have to say religious things in the marriage ceremony by law.
Ideally civil partnerships should exist for all, and those who want a religious aspect can get married in the Church of the Christian denomination that accepts them.Comment
