Gay Church Marriages OK In The UK
The news has just emerged that the government in the UK plans to legalise homosexual couples to get “married” in churches and other religious establishments. Lynne Featherstone – the Liberal Democrat Equalities Minister – is yet to release the full details, but it is expected that the historic legal definition of marriage will come to end in the wake of allowing “civil partnerships” the same rights as heterosexuals and to be betrothed in the “eyes of God.”
Despite this change, it is thought that it will be down to the religious establishments to decide whether or not they will play host to same sex matrimonies.
Activists for homosexuals are delighted with the policy related hearsay and have said that the switch is “long overdue.” Gay over 50s dating today could never have expected such changes during their youth! It is a great achievement for the homosexual community who were not too long ago restricted to sharing their apparently “non Godly” desires online via specialist websites and online dating.
Some of the big names in religion are less enthusiastic however. Rev. Bishop Nicolas Reade of East Lancashire told several newspapers that that he is appalled by the government’s “interference” when it comes to religious matters and that he will not be allowing individuals to seal the deal with their same sex lovers within the walls of his own church.
“Church and state is not the same thing, and I am shocked that without any consultation with the church, the government is making these changes”,contended the reverend.
The changes are thought to also allow dating couples the option to engage in civil partnerships should they prefer this more modern take on the traditional marriage. This change concerns me the most, since marriages should be exactly that, regardless of the sex of those getting hitched.
