    Christian Marriage Reform

    It was recently reported that the UK had its first same sex marriage in accordance with the Anglican Church. This is a remarkable moment as it shows Christianity and homosexuality can co-exist harmoniously. Do you al believe that this is possible with other religions?

    That really is a remarkable shift, though perhaps it is even expected considering that greater awareness about the LGBTQ+ movement has recently grown. In many Muslim countries, homosexuality is considered a crime, especially if it occurs in the public sphere - e.g. marriage, thus I remain uncertain whether Islam and homosexuality could co-exist as a whole. Hinduism regards homosexuality in a mixed manner (India's Penal Code views it "against the order of nature"). While the UK Hindu Council asserted in 2009 that Hinduism doesn't condemn homosexuality, the Supreme Court of India asserted that it should be "kept to the bedroom."
