Britain’s new policy of the lifting of a ban allowing gay couples to hold civil partnership ceremonies in churches has sparked fury among religious groups. The radical move by the government removes some of the last remaining distinctions between gay partnerships and traditional marriages.

Although marriage and civil partnership are already similar under British law, civil partnership ceremonies are currently not allowed to have religious references, are banned from churches, and must take place in a public building overseen by a government registrar. The change will give same-sex couples the chance to tie the knot in religious buildings - although the govt stressed that churches can opt out if they wish to.
