"Like Science Fiction Nightmare", Say Christian Bakers In Gay Marriage Case

[jake]

Having said as much, I still maintain that sanctioning 'gay marriage' is a step too far.

Do you also feel the same way about Civil partnerships?

Do you also feel the same way about Civil partnerships?

NO, Jake ... my first marriage took place in the Church of Scotland very nearly fifty years' ago. Whereas my second happened to be a civil ceremony, the MAIN reason being, I'd heard that the Catholic Church in the Phils was inclined to be somewhat dilatory in sending certificates to local Registry Offices, thereby, of course, delaying the Spousal Visa process.

Clearly, then, I don't see anything wrong with Civil partnerships when - as nature intended (see #2) - they're between participants of the opposite gender.
