Aimi Leggett, 25, and civil partner Victoria, 22, had planned to have one-year-old son Alfie christened at St Mary's Church, Gosport, Hants, in two weeks.
However, when both women asked to be listed as the mother in a meeting with Reverend George Gebauer he said the church baptism register would not allow it.
He suggested one be registered as the mother while the other be put down as the Godmother instead.

Aimi and Victoria said they were appalled and stormed out.
