The Uk has only recently allowed same sex marriages. I can't say that I agree with it at all. If people want to have a gay relationship, then that's up to them, and I think you either agree with it or totally hate the idea, but to take it one step further and have wedding services, I think is not right at all. It makes a mockery out of a service that is sacred between man and wife, and not meant for wife and wife, or husband and husband!
Voter opinions on gay marriage holding steady
Time has done little to change California voter opinion on same-sex marriage, even though such unions have been banned at the ballot box, according to a new Field Poll. Ref. Source 4
On Monday, the Justice Department will issue a policy memo to its employees instructing them to give lawful same-sex marriages full and equal recognition, to the greatest extent possible under the law. Attorney General Eric Holder says that in every federal courthouse and in every proceeding where Justice Department employees stand, they will ensure that same-sex marriages receive the same privileges, protections and rights as opposite-sex marriages under federal law.
