Truer words have never been spoke.

Pass a law to make an unwilling congregation marry homosexuals. Right. But if they were unwilling to marry them in the first instance, how many homosexuals would be there?

Moreover, how awkward and horrible would the service be?

While I do not think that it is right that a church is able to discriminate on the basis of gender and sexuality (violating human rights legislation), it is not common sense that forcing a given religion to comply with a piece of legislation is actually going to do anything for gay rights.

Which is why I support the principle, but think there are better options (what I said about civil unions).
