Ben Summerskill- it makes me sad to know that you are imagining a world in 20 years time where civil partnerships still exist. They should only be a stepping stone to full marriage equality. They are a step forward but only a springboard towards another destination.

The doesn’t alter, of course, the fact that CofE bishops are the exception, in that they are funded largely by those who hate the idea that their money is being spent on homophobic, cowardly, hypocrisy. so long as they have their iniquitous place in the Lords, this will continue.

I’m astonished that so many people in England have bought into the outrageous lie that CPs are the same, are respected the same and have the same legal and social standing, when the evidence against such a claim is so blatantly obvious.

What absolute piffle. He should know better.

Does he not realise that churches are free to discriminate against whomever they like in performing religious wedding ceremonies? They always have. They always will.

This man is the leader of the self-proclaimed leading LGB (but not T) group in Britain. Yet his group OPPOSES marriage equality for same-sex couples.

But he tries to mitigate this hideous betrayal of the equality agenda by implying that in 20 years churches might allow us to get CP’s.

Stonewall needs to disband. As a group which claims to be campaigning for LGB (but not T) equality, their homophobia makes them not fit for purpose.

(And Stonewall UK ARE homophobic – how else can you describe a group who believes that same sex couples should be denied equal access to the legal contract of civil marriage because of our sexual orientation).

Gay people need to stop donating money to homophobic groups like Stonewall UK who are working against our quest for equal rights

Yes, they are fixated on sex. They also seem to lead very narrow lives in general. I think they think about gay people more than most people on here. I’d call it an obsession.

I am sure that God has already reserved these peoples place in hell, for denigrating and denying this part of God’s creation.

They can bitch all day till the cows come home, but they are in the minority, the world is changing etc. To hell with them in this world. God will deal with them in the next, and it wont be pretty.

They are fixated on sex.

Despite the on going situation with regards to Herr Nazi and his
pedophiles, the Israel Jew nonsense proclaiming that Jerusalem is their Capital.

I think it is about time that all atheists and logical thinking people take these mentally imbalanced idiots power from them by force if necessary.

Unfortunately it won’t happen as these idiots have power.

This way, no church will be forced to actually perform the marriage. After all, the license is issued by the government, not by the church.

The only problem there will be the churches and church staff that rely on ‘the pretty building’ to lure people in for weddings that make nice photographs. Their livelihood might suffer, due to loss of revenue.

We should be careful not to adopt their self-description.

To describe these people as “traditionalist” makes them sound like harmless types who like a nice Sunday roast and a little morris dancing.

They are nothing of the sort.

They are poisonous, obsessive bigots who want to deny the basic human rights of their fellow citizens and should rightly be described as such.

After all they are not even obliged to perform an opposite sex marriage – try getting a catholic church to marry you if you’ve already been divorced for example!

The largest churches in the UK are opposed to same sex marriage or CP’s.

This campaign to allow churches to perform CP’s is misguided.

The focus should be to allow same sex couples enter the legal contract of civil marriage on the same terms as opposite sex couples.

This campaign to allow churches perform CP’s is merely muddling the campaign for equality.
