An amendment proposed in the House of Lords could not derail a law allowing same-sex civil formed in a religious building

On Saturday, I had the privilege to preach the sermon at the wedding of my best friend. He and his male partner, said their love and commitment in the context of Christian faith. We who are married to God.

But it's not good enough for the law. After their marriage, a civil state came and went through a legal ceremony. The clerk said they were "civil partners". It was something of a damp squib as he had stated to marry.

When the media report on issues of religion and sexuality, usually becomes a story of "gay Christians v", as if the two groups were mutually exclusive. This perception is fueled by socially conservative Christians, who were pushing their agenda in the House of Lords today.

This time, they wanted to discriminate against a particular group - religious same-sex couples. This demonstrates the falsity of his repeated assertion that they protect against attacks secular Christianity.

religious elements have been banned since civil unions were introduced in 2005. My friends who were married on Saturday tried to write their own vows and submit to the Registrar for approval. She sent them back with the word "God" removed.

The law changed on December 5. Since then, homosexual couples have been able to give notice of its intention to form a civil society in a religious building. The first of these ceremonies could take place in January.
