As the gay marriage debate rolls on I do wonder why gay people want to participate in a religious institution, often at a religious institution, when all mainstream religions hate homosexuality and recognise it as a sin where gays will burn in hell or even worse.
I went to a gay wedding in Delhi a couple of years ago and it was a wonderful experience. It was not a Hindu ceremony but two people committed themselves to each other with the full support of their family and friends and we all celebrated together. There were no homophobes present and no religious element from which to moralise.
Opposition to a civil ceremony between same sex couples seems to be the one topic that currently unites all religions demonstrating nicely how backward they all are and how ridiculous they all sound.
