Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, described the UK legislation for equal marriage as "wrong", stating his disapproval of its introduction without prior inclusion in a manifesto. He recalled that he was surprised by David Cameron's decision to pass this legislation, feeling that civil partnerships were sufficient and fair. Farage reiterated his position from 2014, asserting that he does not support same-sex marriages while under European law. He speculated on potential complications for the Church of England regarding the enforcement of same-sex marriages against its beliefs.
Farage stated, "It is a settled issue. I didn't support it. I thought it was wrong to introduce it to the public without even putting it in a manifesto."
He expressed surprise at David Cameron's decision to pass same-sex marriage laws, stating, "I thought the civil partnership arrangement that we had was actually working equitably and fairly."
Farage mentioned in 2014, "I do not support same-sex marriages... while we're under the auspices of the European Court of Human Rights." He added that it would lead to significant risks for the Church of England.
Farage remarked, "We are opening up a very big can of worms here, with many very big risks... possibly forced to conduct gay marriages in those churches against the will of vast majority of churchgoers."
