What legal barriers could there possibly be to conducting a blessing ceremony? They weren’t even getting married.

Disestablish the bastards and kick them out of the Lords (and then abolish the Lords and replace it with an elected senate because it’s the 21st bleeding century, not Game of sodding thrones!)!

There will be a day in which it will be within the realm of normality for gay couples to be married in churches, I want a future in which these people are not rejected simply because their Lord and savior made them as they are.

Not only do I find this to be a personally upsetting decision, I think it demonstrates the virulent homophobia that is still very present within the CoE.
I mean church leaders went as far as to “apologise for the hurt felt on both sides” like what?! How on earth can one be apologetic that some homophobes had their feelings hurt that this debate even occurred??? I am greatly disappointed and sickened by the CoE and sadly this means I shall no longer feel welcome at the parish local church.

I dont understand this push for religious communities to accept gay people into their faith. They are pretty up front about the fact that their scripture doesn’t support it.
If a gay couple want to be married then let them do it under civil ceremony. Honestly even straight couples should be doing that too to prevent giving these organisations legitimacy.
The sooner we can rid ourselves of religious influence in the UK the better.
