Poll in Denmark: Allow Gay Church Marriages; Churches Cannot Wed Two People of Same Gender

While Denmark's bishops are equally divided in their opinion on church wedding ceremonies for homosexual couples, the public favors it, the Copenhagen Post website reports today (May 14, 2011).

A new poll shows 75.8 percent of Danes approve of same-sex marriage ceremonies in church.

According to Statistics Denmark, some 400 same-sex civil partnerships are registered every year.

Under current law in Denmark, religious communities may not wed two people of the same gender.
