If they are christian, then they know that the church does not allow a marriage such as they want to be performed for them...and they also know why this is the case.
This doersn't mean that they cannot be christians, just that they cannot expect to partake of a sacrament that is purely for a man and a woman.
I am not agains homosexuals having their union blessed(if they can find a vicar who can do this for them).......but the redefining of marriage for them is wrong......it cannot be any other way.
It doesn't matter if governments legislate for this, people who hold that marriage is between a man and a woman will not change their views.....but people will be criminalised for their religious beliefs and for following their conscience.
I await the first muslim same sex wedding...do you think I might live to see it?
Do you think the Court of Human rights in Strasbourg will persecute muslims for not upholding same sex weddings...which is most definitely against the tenets of their religion.
