How does it relate to the persecution of Christians?
[edit]Some Christians not in favour of same-sex marriage seem to name the suffering Church as a counterargument. For example, Justin Welby, the Archbishop-designate of Canterbury said in his opening statement: "We also face deep differences over the issue of sexuality. It is absolutely right for the state to define the rights and status of people co-habiting in different forms of relationships, including civil partnerships. We must have no truck with any form of homophobia, in any part of the church. The Church of England is part of the worldwide church, with all the responsibilities that come from those links. What the church does here deeply affects the already greatly suffering churches in places like northern Nigeria, which I know well. I support the House of Bishop's statement in the summer in answer to the government's consultation on same sex marriage. I know I need to listen very attentively to the LGBT communities, and examine my own thinking prayerfully and carefully. I am always averse to the language of exclusion, when what we are called to is to love in the same way as Jesus Christ loves us. Above all in the church we need to create safe spaces for these issues to be discussed honestly and in love." (Emphasis added.)
Can someone explain the line of argument that links the two, please? – Kaihsu (talk) 06:08, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- If you have questions, try the Wikipedia:Reference desk. Talk pages are for discussing what the content of an article should be, not for answering questions - particularly on contentious issues. Thanks.--Scott Mac 15:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, I will try there. – Kaihsu (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Catholicism
[edit]The section on Catholic Church opposition is poorly written. There are several factual omissions about reasons for opposition, the most prominent being the doctrine about procreative aspects of marriage. This doctrine can be verified within several official Vatican documents, such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church, under the fecundity of marriage.24.212.151.213 (talk) 05:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Put in Neutral / Mixed ?
[edit]Should there be a section for neutral or 'neither' ? I realize there's a tendency to polarize or state things as if polarized, but read examples like New Zealand Presbyterian position seems more will-comply-with-local-law rather than either really supporting or opposing.

- It might be better to list by religion, rather than pro and con. Opinions? 83.104.249.240 (talk) 12:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Massive North American bias
[edit]The article has little information about the views of religious groups outside the North American region, but intricate detail about many minority religions. I've added the Globalize tag. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 12:00, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
