Same Sex Christian Marriage
A small but growing number of mainline Protestant denominations such as the United Church of Canada and some non-trinitarian denominations, perform weddings between same sex couples. Other churches perform ceremonies blessing same sex unions, but do not refer to them as marriages. The Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Christian churches do not perform or recognise same-sex marriage. Whether to bless same-sex marriages and unions is a matter of debate within some denominations.

“The Christian fear of the pagan outlook has damaged the whole consciousness of man.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Our home has been nothing but a play-room. I’ve been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa’s doll-child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it when you came and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played with them. That’s what our marriage has been, Torvald.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
