The religious angle doesn't work since not all religions frown upon same sex unions

Help be out here Lara, which religions embrace same sex unions?

I went to Google and did a brief search, and there came back thousands of hits such as the one below:

"In 1984 The United Church of Canada affirmed our acceptance of all human beings as persons made in the image of God, regardless of their sexual orientation. In 1988 the church affirmed that all persons who profess faith in Jesus Christ, regardless of their sexual orientation, are eligible to be considered for ordered ministry. In 1992 the General Council directed that liturgical and pastoral resources for same-sex covenants be made available to congregations wishing to bless such unions. In 2000 the United Church affirmed that human sexual orientations, whether heterosexual or homosexual, are a gift from God and part of the marvellous diversity of creation."
