The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which introduced same-sex marriage in England and Wales. The Act enables same sex couples to marry in civil ceremonies; ensures those religious organizations which wish to do so can opt in to marry; protects religious organisations and their representatives from successful legal, challenge if they do not wish to marry same sex couples; enables civil partners to convert their partnership to a marriage and enables individuals to change their legal gender without having to end their marriage.

A more nuanced answer again. My personal convictions would fall in one direction, but I don't think that 'morals' or 'ethics' can be regulated by any body or institution, religious, government or otherwise. Therefore, allow autonomy where this is concerned. In the past, certain parishes would decline to marry a divorcee. This wouldn't have been challenged in the same way. Allow the autonomy still, as there's always the option to move to a civil proceeding if desired.

My religion doesn't agree with this.

I fully support same sex relation ships, however I think marriage should just be a religious thing and have no legal consequences. Civil partnerships should exist for both heterosexual and homosexual couples, but marriage has no legal value.

I am fine with it being legalised but I do not support it
@9BJ2PM5Count Binface2yrs2Y
I don't mind, however you should allow the right for churches or individuals to refuse same sex marriage.
@8SZSWFS4yrs4Y
It doesn’t affect me but there should still be it for other people
@8SPQKR84yrs4Y
Allow civil unions, but marriage should be between a man and a woman
@8SP6HH74yrs4Y
delegalize opposite sex marriage
@8RVSH754yrs4Y
They already have the right and therefore is irrelevant to question that right
@99ZXH3R2yrs2Y
no we should get rid of all gays I believe it is bad for the society
