Wealthy gay dad, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, says he and his civil partner Tony will go to court to force churches to host gay weddings.
He told the Essex Chronicle that he will take legal action because “I am still not getting what I want”.
A Government Bill legalising gay marriage passed Parliament recently but it included measures to protect churches from being forced to perform same-sex weddings.
Challenge
Mr Drewitt-Barlow said: “The only way forward for us now is to make a challenge in the courts against the church.
“It is a shame that we are forced to take Christians into a court to get them to recognise us.”
He added: “It upsets me because I want it so much – a big lavish ceremony, the whole works.....
The gay couple shot to fame in 1999 when they became the first British same-sex couple to be named on their children’s birth certificates.
Last year the Church of England warned that the Government’s plans to redefine marriage could trigger legal problems and end the 500-year link between church and state.

Welcome to the real world. If I was getting what I wanted, Ronald Reagan would still be President.
I will never recognize your perversion as anything but a vile perversion and you cannot make me. Go suck eggs.
If I was getting what I wanted, well, let’s not go there.
Coming here the day after SCOTUS declares SSM the law of the land.
“Barrie Drewitt-Barlow”
With a moniker like that I think he was doomed from the get go.
Seriously, I’d like to see the complaint.
Will the Almighty be named as a co-defendant?

why don’t these people ever sue mosques?
“why don’t these people ever sue mosques?”
Because they’re afraid their case will “blow up” so to speak.
If you read the book of Maccabees, the Greeks were forcing the Jews to eat pork and wouldn’t allow them to circumcise their boys.
Forcing the religious to commit actions against their conscious has always been a form of persecution.
Entire point of the gay agenda is to force Church’s to partake in and bless their agenda, make any utterance of negativity of their life style hate speech.
I noticed he singled out Christians.
And so it starts...anyone with brains could’ve seen this coming from a mile away. And eventually governments across the world will start to outlaw religion because it will be deemed hate speech. It’s a brave new world.
““It is a shame that we are forced to take Christians into a court to get them to recognise us.”
True. Do Muslims recognize them, or are they just unconcerned that the Muslims don’t recognize them?
