British Christians For Marriage Equality


Christians for Equal Marriage UK believe that despite the Anglican and Catholic churches' fierce opposition, it is not impossible for Christians to back gay rights and same-sex marriage.

'So many Christians are now moving away from the long-held traditional view of the church that marriage is only for heterosexual couples,' explained the group's founder, Nathan Hartley.

'In fact, it's taken the church a long time to accept that anyone who isn't heterosexual is equal in the eyes of God and thus just as important as the next person.

'I realised late last year that a new Christian group needed to be formed that contravened this traditional view  when the majority of church leaders claimed to speak on behalf of all of us when voicing opinions on issues of sex and sexuality, when in fact they don't.'
