Gay Marriage

I have always thought that any government had no right to talk about gay marriage. It was a very big mistake that any government would introduce the debate on Gay Marriage. The present or past government have no right to introduce a law, or bills on gay marriage that has nothing to do with the state.

The state had no right to redefine marriage. It is not an equality issue when it comes to Canon's Law as is part of the law of the land stating marriage in its nature a union of one man and woman and is intended to make children in the christian union. The institution of marriage in churches is distinctive, and applies to all christians between man and woman.

There is no reason why same sex couples can have a blessing in a church, if they are Christians, and wants to bring any child or children up as Christians.

But the churches have to be held accountable to bless same sex couples and LGBTs as they have to be scrutinised against criminal records for being paedophiles or sex offenders. What the government can do is get civil partnerships performed not only by councils, but adoption and fostering agencies as well to get more policing efforts to make sure no same sex couples, and LGBTs have a criminal record during the process of vetting before they marry.

Same sex couples have already got equality by taking part in civil partnerships, and still able to marry. It takes nothing away from their relationships. They still have recognition of being married, and able to share the same rights as inheriting money, properties etc. Under current law same sex marriage can have a civil partnership, but not a civil marriage, and there is no legitimate reason to change this.
