I think my argument still is true, as in this country it is certainly the Christian vote that is foremost on the minds of a very large number of our politicians.

If, as you argue, religion doesn`t have the sole authority over marriage, then that only leaves prejudice as a reason to deny a section of the population the same rights that another section of the population enjoys. At the end of the day the issue essentially boils down to something as trivial as gender. As a society we do not tolerate this sort of discrimination on something as trivial as skin colour (although I do wonder these days).
