When Britain's new domestic partner law takes effect in December gay Anglican priests and their partners will be allowed to register, the Church has decided, but they cannot consummate their relationships.

The proposal has angered both gays and homophobes in the Church, but has the approval of Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.

Same-sex domestic partnerships become legal in the UK December 5. (story) Although they offer most of the same rights and responsibilities of marriage they cannot be called marriages.

5. all it's going to take is one complaint

and the church authorities will have to investigate

either this is going to lead to great openess for gay clergy or a complete crack-down on them
