Some Scottish Religious Groups Want To Be Able To Perform Same-Sex Marriages

In Scotland yesterday, a coalition of faith groups (United Reformed Church, the Quakers, Buddhists and the Pagan Federation) calling themselves Faith in Marriage launched a campaign to end the ban on religious groups performing same-sex marriages.  Gay Star News reports that the group released an open letter to members of the Scottish Parliament asking them to change the law. A few days earlier, an anti-gay Christian group calling itself Scotland for Marriage announced that it would deliver leaflets to 300,000 homes in Glasgow warning of the dangers of same-sex marriage.
