Many religious organisations already have exemptions from anti-discrimination laws in e.g. employment law, so I don't think that would be an issue.

What's God doing? He can take John Lennon. He can take those three young lads down at Ainsley Pit. He's even thinking of taking my old man. And Margaret bloody Thatcher lives! What's He sodding playing at, eh?


(Brassed off - they also thought God was a bit weird)

So God was creating man. And his little assistant came up to him and he said: "Hey, we've got all these bodies left, but we're right out of brains, we're right out of hearts and we're right out of vocal chords." And God said: "Fu** it! Sew 'em up anyway. Smack smiles on the faces and make them talk out of their arses." And lo, God created the Tory Party.

(Brassed off again)

All religion is the biggest two faced, biggoted, judgmental institution of the world

She did so much damage, we still feel the aftershocks. Martha and the Vandellas were quite prophetic.

There are some people, my father included, who would have her back in power tomorrow. Does that mean he has monkey glands, oh shit, that means I might!

...and out would get rolled the 'discrimination laws'. No sooner would it be passed into law, than it would be in court as a 'happy couple' insist that their human rights are being breached, that they insist they be allowed to marry in church, blah blah blah....

Not sure what you're getting at mate

If a church will marry mixed couples but not gays, is this not discrimination

So you think its fine to force a religion, any religion, to marry a couple who fly in the face of many of their religious beliefs?
