#1 goodo, let the people choose their own path to happiness. Whatever floats the boat

i'd be campaigning for the right to gay divorce more to the point. in my experience gay men are the most fickle partners of all.

#2 Might be a lot of money in that -- imagine the volume if you were a "gay divorce" lawyer.

#3 Question: does this leave it up to the particular church as whether to host the ceremony, or are all churchs (or other holy buildings) forced to allow marriage no matter the participants?

I'd heard that within 3 days of the first legal gay union there was a filing for divorce.

#4 The Roman Catholic Church and Islam only sanction marriage between a man and a woman.

Well, they DO say that politics makes for strange bedfellows...

#5 "The Roman Catholic Church and Islam only sanction marriage between a man and a woman."

As soon as this is implemented, we need a homosexual couple to show up at the biggest mosque in London (with suitable police protection and TV cameras, of course) claiming to be moslem and demanding the resident iman perform their marriage ceremony posthaste.

Hilarity would ensue.

#6 "The Roman Catholic Church and Islam only sanction marriage between a man and a woman."

To be more specific, the Bible and the Koran condemn homosexuality. The Southern Baptist Convention and the Roman Catholic Church are the most adherent to the Biblical laws and statutes, while Islam is adherent to the Sura.
