[quote]Legislation to introduce same-sex marriage in Scotland has been approved in principle by parliament, after MSPs voted on it for the first time.
The Scottish government's Marriage and Civil Partnership Bill passed the first of three parliamentary hurdles by 98 votes to 15 with five abstentions.
Ministers said the move was the right thing to do, but the Church of Scotland and Catholic Church are opposed.
Religious and belief bodies would "opt in" to perform same-sex marriages.[/quote]
I'm sure gays will find plenty of churches willing have their ceremonies. It being opt in shouldn't even really be a question up for debate.
This is a good thing.
If certain churches don't want it to go ahead then bwaa~ for them.
I've never seen something so happy than a gay marriage, no joke.
