Britain Upholds Gay Rights Law

Britain's parliament has upheld a gay rights law that Christians say will force them to violate their beliefs.
About 4,000 British Christians have been protesting outside Parliament this week as the House of Lords debated the measure.
The body voted 199-68 against a motion calling for the regulation to be scrapped.
Under the law, churches could be forced to rent out halls for gay wedding receptions, and Christian innkeepers could be prosecuted for refusing to rent rooms to gay couples.
Christian activists submitted a petition to Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday, saying such laws violate Biblical teaching.
Andrea Minichello Williams, a protest organizer, said that the petition submitted to Buckingham Palace was signed by 10,000 Christians.
It urged the monarch to use her "power and position" to demand that the government protect the freedom of Christians to live according to the Bible's teaching.
The section of the Equality Act 2006 banning businesses from discriminating against gay people in providing goods and services took effect in Northern Ireland on Jan. 1.
The law is scheduled to take effect in England, Wales, and Scotland in April.
