There is a ceremony which occurs during a wedding.
That ceremony cannot take place in a Catholic Church if the two people are gay.
What if the two people want to have their ceremony in the church, because it is important to them for their wedding to occurs under the eyes of God, and as a part of the holy sacrament of marriage, which they believe in?
The government cannot tell the Catholic religion that the ceremony must occur in the church, because that would be infringing on the beliefs of the Catholic faith.
