Xtianfuckwitwatch - I got your 'sanctity of marriage' *right here*...
Feòrag at Pagan Prattle finds another gem:

"A Motherwell couple are claiming that Strathclyde Police discriminated against them on religious grounds because the force's personnel files have a single field for Married/civil partnership.

'The couple, who have been wed 26 years, told a Glasgow employment tribunal they had deeply held religious beliefs as Christians as to the sanctity of marriage and found the description as married/civil partners offensive causing injury to their feelings as married persons.' "

Oh, the poor little fuckers...

As ever, the issue is not what they believe (in the face of overwhelming historical evidence that marriage wasn't a Holy Estate, more a Real Estate transaction - the father essentially selling his daughter to the husband) but how they deal with everyone else who dosn't believe the same thing. If it causes them so much distress to be equated with Civil Partnership *on a fucking form*, how can they possibly cope with the rest of the Heathen Universe? And who will they try to sue over that?
