One of the major concerns expressed over civil same sex marriages is that religious organisations would have to perform ceremonies that are an affront to them.
It would seem that the government are taking sensible steps to ensure this doesn't happen, and tying it to article 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights (rights to religious freedom) looks like a bit of a master stroke (in that once written into law, the legislation would have primacy).

I respect your wish to keep your views on same sex marriage to yourself - but out of curiousity - how do you feel about civil partnerships?
Also, do you feel CPs should be extended to brothers and sisters, so that those who live together long term, aren't hit by inheritance tax when one of them dies? (An argument I heard on the radio earlier this year).
