Gay Weddings

Gay Weddings…. A bit of a misnomer as by the law Gay Weddings are illegal in UK . Gay civil partnerships are legal at some venues but today laws are being put forward to allow Gay Civil Partnerships to be conducted in churches and like religious building venues. At the same time the new proposed laws say that the religious bodies have the right to say no to having a Gay Civil Partnership ceremony on their premises. So for example, the Church of England can say no at one of its churches but the law says it is allowed to have gay civil partnerships at Church of England Church premises, but the individual ministers of the Churches can say no. Another point of interest on the subject of Gay “weddings” is: As Gay marriages are illegal, Straight civil partnerships are also illegal. So the laws have a long way to go to obtain equality for all and we can see Civil partnerships available for those straight people who do not want to get married and likewise gay people who do not want a civil partnership but do want a marriage ceremony in church. I hope what i have written is not confusing and we are open to comments of course!
