The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has began a public consultation into “how” marriage “ought to be defined” in the UK. Currently same-sex couples are permitted to enter into civil-partnerships. These civil-partnerships allows all the legal benefits of marriage, without the title.

However, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender (LGBT) groups are campaigning for marriage itself to be redefined to allow for same-sex couples to be married. This would not only be taught in schools as what marriage is; but churches would be obliged to allow same-sex couples access to church buildings to become married.

Opinion polls show the majority of the people are opposed to any changes in the definition of marriage, and groups opposed to the move highlight the importance of traditional marriage in society for raising children.

Spiritually Prophet TV has highlighted the consequences for a region when LGBT marriage is made legal.
