Thread Name: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Can I ask whether scripture is really relevant to this debate? As I pointed out earlier:
1. a civil partnership is NOT a religious ceremony
2. The person in question was not a religious celebrant, she was a civil servant employed to carry out, among other things, civil partnerships.
3. Whether you personally agree with homosexual civil partnership is completely irrelevant - it is enshrined in British law. This person was employed to do a job of work. If someone's religion prevents them from doing their job, they should be doing a different job.
