    It's part of human right's legislation that you have freedom of religous expression. Various parties think this doesn't apply to Christians, and various courts keep telling they're wrong.

    Go for it. You've run a business for 23 years, and being a Registrar is not the career for the testosterone fuelled - is it?

    The same sex thing is legal and people have a right to a civil partnership. In my eyes, as a Registrar, I would not be performing a religious ceremony. Just a legal commitment.
