No law can prevent gay people being married in a churchbut there are laws that will prevent such a 'marriage' being recognised as official by the State. This doesn't change anything, as it merely keeps the status quo.
That's what the overwhelming majority of voters wanted (70% on the referendums).
So really, the problem is that democracy overruled the gay lobby. That's the problem with democracy, you can't always get what you want.

"keeps the status quo."... right, I think we nailed it thereas for referendums, they're not good for this sort of thing. Gay people demanding marriage are quite the minority, and by that nature are underrepresented. Most people who voted aren't actaully going to be affected by this.
i always suspected the quo were involved
