Plans to introduce same-sex ‘marriage’ will erode civil liberties and invite unprecedented government meddling in public life.

The Coalition for Marriage has warned of the following threats to civil liberty that are likely to arise in the wake of introducing same-sex ‘marriage.’

  1. Teachers in state schools will be forced to endorse the new definition of marriage. Those that refuse could be disciplined or even dismissed. Such action would be legal.
  2. Parents will ultimately have no legal right to withdraw their children from lessons which endorse the new definition of marriage across the curriculum.
  3. NHS/University/Armed forces chaplains could be lawfully fired by their employers if they express, even outside work time, the belief that marriage is between one man and one woman.
  4. Foster carers could be legally rejected by local authorities on the basis that they fail to embrace the new definition of marriage.
  5. Public sector workers could be demoted or dismissed for expressing support for marriage between one man and one woman.
  6. Registrars who have a conscientious objection to the new definition of marriage will be dismissed unless they are prepared to act against their beliefs.
  7. Churches/mosques/synagogues could ultimately be forced to perform same-sex weddings if a Government ban on such weddings in religious premises is overturned by the European courts.
  8. The Church of England may have to disestablish or face the prospect of court action because, as the established church, it must provide a wedding to any person who is legally eligible to get married.
  9. Faith-based charities could be banned from hiring public facilities if they refuse to endorse the new definition of marriage.
  10. Clergy who disagree with same-sex marriage, but who are in a denomination which has no such objection, could be taken to court if the Government allows religious same sex weddings.


WRITE: to your MP and ask for your concerns to be forwarded to the appropriate minister. This is one issue where Government is allowing MPs to have a free vote, so writing to them has the potential to make a huge difference.

  4. […] As more nations jump on the gay ‘marriage’ bandwagon, we should expect to see many other perversions introduced. Gay ‘marriage’ is just the beginning of a slippery slope towards sexual anarchy. (This does not even include the slippery slope towards totalitarianism, as gay ‘marriage’ leads to more and more freedoms being eroded. That is a different topic and one which I have addressed in my article ‘Will the Real Enemies of Liberty Please Stand up’and ‘Gay Marriage Threatens Civil Liberties.’) […]

  5. The whole ‘gay marriage’ debate seems to be part of a worldwide movement to undermine and denigrate religion, religious views and religious expression. It also seems part of the movement to subjugate the masses.

    I don’t suppose any other small minority group has had the same action on its behalf. but of course a significant number of senior financial positions and judiciary position are held by those of dubious to say the least sexuality.

    I have said before and repeat that there is in life no such thing as equality. Men and women are not the same they are different. The greatest inequalities revolve around poverty and oppression.

    But worst of all, pressing for equality is denigrating God giving authority to the Church and to leaders appointed with God’s authority, and saying in laymen’s terms that none have authority over any other.

    But of course in terms of ‘power’, greed and wealth, none mostly God given, there is in fact total inequality between the poor and the wealthy power-mongers of the world.

    So how can they say undermining marriage between a man and a woman is an act of equality? Given the propensity for those involved in homosexual acts to do so with hundreds or thousands of ‘partners’ any recognition of ‘gay marriage’ is a dreadful and terrible weakening of making vows of commitment for life, which are as nothing to those involved in homosexual acts.

    But it may well rebound on these Governments seeking to weaken the bonds of society and lead to a complete undermining of government authority throughout the Western world. If government stubbornly won’t listen to huge sectors of the general population, will all these people have ANY respect for government?

    And what subsequent treachery will they face from those involved in homosexual acts by their seeking to appease such people. Each step of giving in to these sorts of people is a further step down the road to lawlessness and chaos in society.

    It is indeed a VERY dangerous path these governments seek to tread.
