None, whatsoever. I don't give a shite. I will give a shite if/when a religious institution is forced to perform the ceremony against their will. And I say that as an agnostic.

Good lord, people, take stupidity to the Poli board. Religious ceremonies aren't legal ceremonies. Therefore a church is under no obligation, and will never be under an obligation, to perform a ceremony. As far as the government is concerned, a naked mime with a feather duster up his arse can perform the fricking "ceremony" and it won't matter a whit because the government isn't in the business of caring about the ceremony. They're in the business of issuing the license and granting the rights offered by marriage. Frankly, the government shouldn't be recognizing marriage period, but people insist that the government validate them in that manner, and then get upset when other people insist that the government likewise validate them, and all we have as a result is a clusterfrick that belongs on the Clusterfrick Board.
