The legalization of same-sex marriage has been ruled out by Queen Elizabeth II in England because of her deeply
held Christian values, a close friend has reportedly told a London-based
newspaper.
The unnamed “friend” said the monarch was frustrated by the fact that she could only “advise and warn” on the issue.
“It was the ‘marriage’ thing that she thought was wrong, because
marriage ought to be sacrosanct between a man and a woman,” said the
friend.
“Those in civil partnerships can choose to convert their
relationships to marriage, via a procedure expected to be in place by
the end of the year, but are under no obligation to do so.”
“The law prohibits the Church of England from performing same-sex
weddings, and allows other religious organisations to refuse to perform
them.”
