The plan will now undergo scrutiny before committee members and in the Scottish Parliament chamber.[/quote]

Did you even read the article?

[quote]"At the same time, we also want to protect freedom of speech and religion, and that's what the bill sets out to do. That is why it will be up to the religious body or individual celebrant to decide if they want to perform same sex marriages and there will be no obligation to opt in."[/quote]

Then you're forcing people to take part in something they're not comfortable with, they can disagree with it, they can be colossal cunts about it, but you're not forcing them to marry couples they don't want to marry just like they're not gonna be forcing gay couples to not get married.
