Britain will announce plans next week to allow gay marriages
in churches and other religious buildings.
Culture Secretary Maria Miller will unveil ministers’
responses to a consultation earlier this year, which will propose that
religious organisations should be able to ‘opt-in’ to hold same-sex weddings,
according to a government source.
Amid strong opposition from the Church of England and Roman
Catholics, however, as well as many members of Cameron’s Conservative party,
Miller will stress that no religious groups will be forced to conduct gay
weddings.
Speaking to reporters on a visit to a car factory, Cameron
said: “I’m a massive supporter of marriage and I don’t want gay people to be
excluded from a great institution.
“But let me be absolutely 100 percent clear, if there is any
church or any synagogue or any mosque that doesn’t want to have a gay marriage
it will not, absolutely must not, be forced to hold it.
“That is absolutely clear in the legislation.
“Also let me make clear, this is a free vote for members of
Parliament but personally I will be supporting it”.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!
