Just plucking this out:

Quote:

Any churches/religions officially recognized as such, may perform a marriage, be they Christian, Hebrew, or Muslim, etc, in their own institutions, according to their own rituals and practices, and be recognized under the law, so long as the marriage conforms to any non-religious related regulations in the law, such as age of consent, etc.

Druidism is officially recognized as a religion (In the UK at the very least. I do not know about the US). And I am a Druid (as in practicing clergy, albeit a small sect). So I'd actually support this, as we Druids aren't exactly very big on barring people from marriage based on something so arbitrary as the contents of their trousers and their parter's.

You will then notice his next post where I called him out for it and he essentially said "I don't like it, but I guess so unless we can prove it's harmful to society".

Keep up Kairne :p.
