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).

Surely it can only be prejudice to not extend the legal rights of partnership to homosexual partners?
