Any thrust at the walls surrounding the gay community ought to be welcome. This couple does have a point. Good laws should not be benifit only gay people, we need to be seen as normal in every aspect.

We, as usual, rushed the law through. This happens when Labour is in power. The law had good intentions and is bad law.

Half of me says these are troublemakers, half says they are right.

I have often wondered. If a gay couple are married in a church, (the religious ceremony could be performed by say the Metropolitan Community Church, a Protestant denomination here in the US) and then applied for the civil status dermanding a marriage license issued by government, would they be denied?

Would such a denial be a breach of their right to religious freedom? The government certainly cannot deny a church the right to marry its members, they have no control over what a church might do. Our Constitution guarantees that.

But very much agree with your statement, Timmy, these two could be troublemakers...but then who is in trouble, hopefully the law.
