It really baffles me why religious leaders are coming out in support of gay marriage. Now don't start jumping on me. I'm just saying its strange. If these people are christians surely they read their bibles.... and if they do it is clear that homosexuallity isn't acceptable. So why on earth are they completely ignoring the bible that they are supposed to be teaching and supporting gay marriage?
I also think its irritating why its always the christians who are attacked for their bigotry and discrimination yet the muslims teach against homosexuality too and nobody is attacking them.
Here is my opinion. As a christian. I believe my marriage in church was in front of God. As a christian it was important for me to get married in God's house. If a gay couple want to get married it should be in a civil ceremony and not in a church. Just as Kenny said, 'churches' beliefs must remain respected.'
This is what I can see happening in the future. Gay couples will be given the right to get married ANYWHERE they wish. This will include churches and other religous buildings. I see Pastors/Vicars/Imams/Rabbi's etc being forced into the situation where they have to choose between their religious convictions and obeying the law. They will most likely have to leave their job which will leave the churches leaderless or with a leader who is happy to ignore the teaching of their religious books which to me is selling out.
This is my opinion. And I feel nervous posting it. Why? Because I'm sure lots of you will now always think of me as Maisie the Bigot.
