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.

Remove marriage from the state. Marriage is a religious ceremony, make the legal element a civil union, let that be the only part of it that is governed by the state

Yes, but allow any officiary the right to refuse, however, provide support in finding someone that will.
Yes, Marriage is a religious thing and should only be used in religious couples.

I don't believe that marriage should be contractual in any form, or that it must coincide with religion.
@9FVSZ3V 2yrs2Y
Marriage is a farce, it leads to partners like myself and my partner being treated differently for financial issues. Marriage should be a personal choice and have no legal status of benefit.
@8Q85K7N4yrs4Y
Marriage is a social construct

Yes, let them have their own freedom, allow full control of their marriage and don’t let government control, but religious places that don’t support can refuse only under religion.
@93W6KCJ3yrs3Y
Yes, and church's of all faiths should be denied the right to refuse same sex ceremonies
