Loving the suggestion that the right to gay marriage is, in fact, a restriction of freedom.
Idiot.
Trying to apply logic to the religious is like trying to collect water in a colander. Frustrating and pointless.Idiot.
Surely the established religions are generally homophobes and, I guess, will remain so for some time, so why the desire to be a part of that crap?
Except the quote that's been reported (and repeated here) is not quite the same when the full quote is considered in context.
[Lord Carey] rejected suggestions that the true “bigots” were those who advocated gay marriage and would not listen to legitimate concerns of religious groups who disagreed.
“Let’s have a sensible debate about this, not call people names,” he said. “Let’s remember that the Jews in Nazi Germany, what started it all against them was when they started being called names. That was the first stage towards that totalitarian state.”

TBH I don't quite follow why a gay couple would want a 'marraige' when they already (quite rightly) have the option of civil partnerships.
Same reason, presumably, why a black person would want to sit at the front of the bus when there are perfectly good seats at the back.otolith said:
