In a shocking attack on religious freedom and even property rights, the speaker of Britain’s House of Commons argued that the country won’t have “proper equal marriage” until churches are unable to turn away requests to host a same-sex marriage.
“I still feel we’ll only have proper equal marriage when you can bloody well get married in a church if you want to do so, without having to fight the church for the equality that should be your right,” John Bercow, the Commons speaker, declared at a PinkNews reception in July.
Britain legalized same-sex marriage in 2013, but Bercow suggested that the LGBT issue will not be settled until churches are unable to refuse to host such weddings. “We don’t want to behave like it’s all over, everything’s been done and nothing remains, because that isn’t true,” he added.
This statement proved particularly revealing, in light of religious freedom struggles in the United States and the forthcoming vote to legalize same-sex marriage in Australia. Other events in Britain at the time also revealed the inherent struggle between the LGBT movement and the freedom of churches to host the weddings they choose to bless.
Bercow’s statement came one month after Tim Farron resigned from leading the Liberal Democratic Party because the British press had launched a kind of inquisition into his Christian faith. Farron, who supported legalizing same-sex marriage, was nevertheless accorded suspicion, and reporters badgered him on whether he thought homosexual activity is a sin.

Won’t be an issue in England where they have an established state religion initially. However when the religion of peace finally takes over they will go ISIS on the gays and liberals.
There is a reason the term homonazi was coined. People like this guy.
So they want to deny Christians the ability to fully practice their religion?
This is our closest ally?
Absolutely.
They want most Christians dead, the rest in chains.
Go ahead. Force that mosque to perform your same sex marriage.
oh mosques and muslims are always exempt
So all of England is Church Of E-GBLTQ now?
Demand that they impose this on the mosques first.
Celebrate sin. They demand it.
“Where is your god now?”
They are intolerant of Christianity.
Britain needs a revolution.
>>and reporters badgered him on whether he thought homosexual activity is a sin.
Sinners know that they sin. Homosexualists abuse drugs to get over the pain of their indulgences. And in the end, they live shorter lives. Unhealthy living.
My immediate thought upon seeing headline.
Christians will be back to worshipping secretly in basements and catacombs before too long.

Tell me again how your homosexual marriage does not affect me and is none of my business.
The Gaystapo keeps marching down the rainbow road to Hell.
Especially for churches that hold marriage to be a sacrament, it is theologically and liturgically impossible to perform homosexual marriages. The state is presuming to dictate doctrine and practice. This is the line in the sand.
By “Churches” I can only assume mosques will also be included.
Right?
