The Sun.
The look on Lynne Featherstone's face says it all...
Here's the small print;
:: No religious organisation or individual minister can be compelled to
marry
same-sex couples or to permit this to happen on their premises;
:: It will be unlawful for religious organisations or their ministers to
marry
same-sex couples unless their organisation’s governing body has
expressly
opted in to provisions for doing so;
:: The Equality Act 2010 is to be amended to ensure no discrimination
claim
can be brought against religious organisations or individual ministers
for
refusing to marry a same-sex couple;
:: The legislation will explicitly state that it will be illegal for the
Church of England and the Church in Wales to marry same-sex couples and
that
Canon Law, which bans same-sex weddings, will continue to apply.
Teh bigots is teh win!

So, someone could go to jail for abiding by the 2010 Equality Act and treating gays equally.
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing is a ridiculous farce now, so I guess their objective is achieved.
