Wealthy gay dad, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, says he and his civil partner Tony will go to court to force churches to host gay weddings.
He told the Essex Chronicle that he will take legal action because “I am still not getting what I want”.
A Government Bill legalising gay marriage passed Parliament recently but it included measures to protect churches from being forced to perform same-sex weddings.
Challenge
Mr Drewitt-Barlow said: “The only way forward for us now is to make a challenge in the courts against the church.
“It is a shame that we are forced to take Christians into a court to get them to recognise us.”
He added: “It upsets me because I want it so much – a big lavish ceremony, the whole works, I just don’t think it is going to happen straight away.
“As much as people are saying this is a good thing I am still not getting what I want.” (source)
Cue Mick Jagger “You can’t always get what you want”
Although if you are part of political correct group now favored by the government, “you just might find” you force others “to get what you want.”
Just keep repeating “It can’t happen here” until of course “it does.”

This just confirms something I’ve suspected, it’s not so much same-sex marriage that is being asked for, but a forcing of wholesale social acceptance of Gay Marriage onto a society that is still sorting it out at best. While I may not agree, the image of two men (or women) signing a licence and forming a legal union at City Hall is at least a personal thing, reverent primarily to the two people involved, doing the big shing-ding reception later is optional, if fun. (Which is what my mother and father did.) But this smacks of personal vengeance: if little Johnny and Billy and friends wouldn’t let Suzy into their treehouse, then she’s going to go get her daddy and big brother and they’re going to MAKE them let her in, and all her friends, and…. you can see what I mean.
Mr Drewitt-Barlow may want to make a point, but he comes off throwing a tantrum, saying “Me & Tony also want the big cake and the fancy dress and all the ribbons and furbelows of your weddings and you can’t tell us we can’t have them!” which is like going to the circus for your birthday and demanding to be the ringmaster.
