Well they wouldn't want to get married in a church that was opposed to it, would they?
The points are:
1. they can't even get a civil partnership in a church (or any other religious establishment) that ISN'T homophobic, and this is in violation of religious freedom (the Government is almost saying that religions have to be homophobic.)
2. marriage isn't the same thing as civil partnership. It's a separate institution and that's discrimination. (Straight people can't get a civil partnership either) and gay people want to get MARRIED, the same as straight people, Civil Partnerships were a compromise to bigots in the first place.
Personally I'd be happy if marriage was completely deregulated, because to me it's essentially a social thing that I don't think the state should have a say in. But clearly I'm against the grain here because they recently abolished common-law marriage altogether.
