I have no sympathy for them at all. The queen took an oath as head of the Anglican Church, and in her recent sickening move, legalizing sodomite sham ‘marriage’, she violated that oath. I mean, when monarchs don’t even keep their oaths, they really are reduced to glorified welfare leeches. The whole establishment leadership of the UK, royal and parliamentary should be overthrown.

Does the oath as head of the Anglican Church require one to never legalize gay marriage?

Just asking...

The Monarch’s role as “Supreme Governor of the Church of England”, is not the same as that of (say) the Pope. It’s mainly a safeguard against clerics attempting to depose the monarch. Little direct involvement with church doctrine.

She could have done what King Baudouin of Belgium did in 1990 -- when a law submitted by Roger Lallemand and Lucienne Herman-Michielsens, liberalising Belgium's abortion laws, was approved by Parliament, he refused to give Royal Assent to the bill. Royal Assent has long been a formality (as is the case in most constitutional and popular monarchies). However, due to his religious convictions, Baudouin asked the Government to declare him temporarily unable to reign so that he could avoid signing the measure into law

According to the provisions of the Belgian Constitution, in the event the King is temporarily unable to reign, the Government as a whole fulfills the role of Head of State. All members of the Government signed the bill, and the next day (5 April 1990) the Government declared that Baudouin was capable of reigning again.

Not the best, but he kept his personal honor
