New Archbishop of Canterbury challenges David Cameron on gay marriage- The new Archbishop of Canterbury will issue a challenge to David Cameron by voicing opposition to gay marriage on the eve of the first parliamentary vote on the controversial new law.
In his first official day as leader of the Church of England, the Rt Rev Justin Welby is expected to say that marriage should remain “between a man and a woman”.As MPs prepare for the vote on gay marriage on Tuesday, Bishop Welby will give his first interviews after being officially confirmed in the post at a ceremony in St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
“If asked he will say that marriage is between a man and a woman, and always has been,” a source close to Bishop Welby said, adding that the Archbishop was expecting to be asked for his views and had prepared his response.
I can't think of anything more boring than having to listen to this ridiculous charade, and why we have to listen to these ridiculous religious oiks in funny clothes.
Personally, I'd vote for legally getting rid of the concept of marriage altogether in marriage and just calling it all 'civil partnerships'. People can then refer to it how they want and churches can discriminate however they like. I'm not sure I'd want to get married in an institution that hates me anyway.
