Freedom to practice my religion without your interference

Every argument against gay marriage is based on religion -- I demand the state enforce my religion's anti-gay beliefs about marriage. Some people whose religions permit and celebrate gay marriage are getting annoyed at this attitude. So much for freedom of religion.

In Britain, a gay couple can call their relationship "marriage" even though the government calls it a civil partnership. The difference is that a civil partnership ceremony must be held in a secular place, it can not be held in a church. The Quakers are challenging that rule. They want to bless gay partnerships in the same way they legalize straight marriages. They want to practice their religion as they see it.
