Jew here. My temple has a gay rabbi. They perform gay marriage (obviously) and prior to that being legal they performed commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples. When will churches finally be held to the same standard? The government needs to step in and make sure everyone has equal access to facilities. The age of being allowed to discriminate against people for whom they love is over. We can't let ourselves be ruled by dinosaurs. This would also shut down Islam to mandate that religious facilities not discriminate against homosexuals, so /pol/ can get in on it.

A spokesperson of the Church of England's Lichfield Diocese said: "The traditional teaching of the church is that marriage is a life-long union between and man and a woman and the diocese is committed to that teaching.

"At the same time, following the Church of England's General Synod in February, there was a call for a 'radical new Christian inclusion' of gay and lesbian people in the church.

"We are working with LGBT clergy and lay people to look at what that means for churches across our diocese and are committed to building an inclusive and faithful church that loves and serves all its communities".

Mr Clark said: "We are so grateful for the minister's offer and his thoughts about all of this.

"I hope we can have a blessing from him if the offer is still open."
