Britain to propose allowing same-sex weddings in churches

From England-

The British government has expanded its push to legalize same-sex marriage to include allowing same-sex couples to marry in churches.

Speaking ahead of the mid-December publication of the proposals, Prime Minister David Cameron said churches would not be coerced into holding weddings for homosexuals.

"I'm in favor of gay marriage because I'm a massive supporter of marriage and I don't want gay people to be excluded from a great institution," he told British Broadcasting Corp. in a TV interview Dec. 7.

"But let me be absolutely, 100 percent clear -- if there is any church or any synagogue or any mosque that doesn't want to have a gay marriage, it will not -- it absolutely must not -- be forced to hold it," he said.

"That is absolutely clear in the legislation," Cameron added.
