I think that a religious gay person would be used to the church/society telling them they were wrong for being gay in the first place I wouldn't have thought that the revelation that they couldn't get married would really be all that much of a revelation - it would be frustrating though. I think I'd turn my back on the church if I were them I'd be amazed they hadn't already. I struggle with the whole concept of marriage which is really a religious thing - it's only relatively recently that it's gone secular... give it time and the slippery slope will slide..

Edit - I appreciate the church has considerably relaxed it's position on homosexuality -but our generation would certainly be used to it. x
