"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." Romans 1:26,27
England: They waited until 12:01 a.m. — and not a minute longer. Same-sex couples in England and Wales began tying the knot a minute after midnight on Saturday after waiting decades for equal rights, as Britain's new marriage law went into effect.
Sean Adl-Tabatabai and Sinclair Treadway, both of London, were first to get hitched in front of 100 bleary-eyed guests. Ten minutes later, the registrar declared the happy couple "husband and husband."
Treadway, 20, a student originally from Los Angeles said that he and his now-husband have faced opposition. "Some people say, `You gays are trying to redefine marriage,' but the definition of marriage has already changed," he said.
"Now it's between two people who love each other."
Adl-Tabatabi, a 32-year-old television producer from London, agreed. He said their matrimony was a "huge step forward in civil rights for our country, and also a big acknowledgement that love conquers all."
