[quote][quote]its a gud theoretical info j; however many of the the colleagues i work with in our local faith partnership, who come from various faiths including x-tian anglican, methodists, jews~do not find it acceptable; but there are others who are not much bothered.
so i suppose it's a bit of individual perception as well[/quote]

There is a huge spectrum of people out there. Those in favour of same sex marriage stand in large numbers.

Conservative Rabbis Allow Ordained Gays, Same-Sex Unions

Reform Judaism, the largest branch of the faith in the United States, has ordained openly gay men and lesbians since 1990 and has allowed its rabbis to perform same-sex commitment ceremonies since 2000.

In the Church of England, many Anglican clergy already bless same-sex couples on an unofficial basis but there is no authorised ceremony in England.

The United Church of Christ became the largest Christian denomination in the United States to endorse gay marriage in July 2005.

Quakers have been welcoming same-sex unions for almost two decades.

The Methodist Church may become the first big Christian denomination to officially bless same-sex couples.[/quote]
