Pride 2010: all equal in love and law

Comment

Effectively, religion has "highjacked" marriage. Perhaps in the UK a couple wanting to get married should go to the civil authorities for their civil marriage ... and then, if they so wish, go and have a seperate religious marriage, as is the case in France. Civil marriage could then be opened-up to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples. But the really radical way to get round the opjection of religion to embracing same-sex couples into marriage is to do away with civil marriage completely, and open up civil partnership to opposite-sex couples. Methinks that religion would moan like crazy at either option as ministers of religion would then be without their nice fee as a civil registrar! Good to see a good turn-out of the legal profession for the Pride London parade.
