Equality Bill [HL]

I accept the correction, but the fact is that what is being said here is that a registrar who feels that he simply cannot marry two men who are homosexual because he does not believe in it due to his religion may wish to opt out and say, ““I am sorry I cannot do it—let someone else do it””. The fear is that person will be discriminated against and possibly downgraded or even threatened with the dissolution of his job because he is not going to do that. All he is saying is, ““I do not want to do that, even though it may be part of my job. Someone else can do it””.
