Gay Marriage

Legalising gay marriage shouldn't be a huge issue, why would you want to stop two people in love getting married?

Half the reason gay marriage is being held back is because the Church of England is against it. Well seeming as the Church of England is based on Christianity, and to me Christianity stands for being equal, and a good Samaritan, they should be one of the forces backing FOR gay marriage, not against.

Of course not all couples are Christians, but seeming as the Church of England's Bishops sit in the House of Lords, expressing their views, it's the one entity we have try and get on side, or to get them to 'turn the other cheek'.

To stop two people in love getting married is an awful thing to do. It isn't fair, nor is it kind.

I think the government, and the Church need to look at what century we are living in, especially looking at my generation, and generations coming after us, because we aren't a homophobic generation, in fact gay couples is a part of life, we are more liberal in that sense, and I think the House of Commons needs to be as well.

Maybe it's time for the C of E to leave the House of Commons, especially as we are now a multicultural society, and most people today aren't that religious, should we be presented by an old constitution that doesn't represent a vast majority anymore?
