| 3 | Emma Field | Refusing to marry two men or women should be akin to refusing to marry mixed-race couples. |
| 4 | Anonymous | Civil partnerships are now law and this woman should be conducting them as part of her job. If she is not repaired to do this she should leave her job. |

| 12 | Mary Turner | Religious beliefs have no place in any civil act. The law makes it very clear that any type of civil ceramony should not have religious content and those conducting them should not be able to pick and choose which they find acceptable to their belief system. |
| 13 | Rev David Coleman | I m signing this petition because I do not believe that there should be any discrimination against anyone for reasons of sexual orientation. I also strongly repudiate the idea that Christian faith either sponsors or justifies such discrimination.
The Church is not the place for any such prejudice.
I write as national secretary for equal opportunities in my Church, which has a clear statement of equal oppportunities, which lends no support to the registrar concerned. |

| 16 | People must not bring their views to the workplace, if it were a race issue they would be drummed out of the service
We have legisltaion behind us to protect us. |
| 17 | Craig Williams | I value my own Civil Partnership above almost everything. I feel more fully inclusive than ever before and I thank the Government for this. Religion has a place in life but not when it impacts on our civil rights and liberties. I am proud to be British and proud of what we have acheived - I am horrified that one individual has been given the opportunity to begin to erode what we have fought so hard for and we so richly deserve. |

| 26 | vanessa Clark Photography | It is not right to discriminate against anybody whether we are gay, lesbian,straight, black, white, buddhist, christian muslim. Love is a human right! Civil Parterships are recognised in law. It upsets me that there are still homophobic attitudes out there.

| 27 | Emma Durrant-Rance | I fully support this Petition!Im am a married women with two children and I have many gay friends ! it makes me sad that the country still has small minded people that insist on keeping things in the past . My children will be brought up to except people for who they are just like me and my husband do!! Oh and about the religious thing what rubbish I thought GOD loved all of his children how ever they came???? I think it is time they practised what they preach isnt it!!!

| 28 | Donna Hart | This is the world gone mad! Would she refuse to marry Atheists on the grounds that they are all damned? A register office ceremony is a choice for people who are not looking for a religious ceremony - if her beliefs are this strong she should choose a more suitable vocation. |

| 34 | Dr. Richard Cleeve | This ruling should be overturned. It sets dangerous precedents for condoning bigotry and prejudice within society, and sends a clear message that homophobia is acceptable in the work place. |
| 35 | Duncan Sowry-House | |
| 36 | Sheila Nolan | I believe that the law should be upheld with regard to Civil Partnerships and a registrar should not be allowed to "pick and choose". |
| 37 | Ross MacLennan | This is a clear moral and legal breach of the practice of law in favour of the practice of media politics. It a world that is working hard to come to terms with the difficult social issues, this is wrong. It can never be right to allow belief a superior legal status that the law itself. There is no limit to the number of analogies that prove this to be a farce. There is not even a case for expediency. |

| 43 | glyn goodchild | Many sinners are married in church, "let those without sin cast the first stone". |
| 44 | Sara Teers | I was outraged by this decision and consider it a duty placed upon all registrars to fulfill the remit of their responsiibilities irrespective of personal beliefs. |

| 46 | Georgina Turner | How any court can have found in favour of Lillian is beyond me. Religious beliefs have no place in the civil system, no question. |

| 50 | Paul Taylor | This woman is using the discrimination defence to try to enforce discrimination against another group based on her personal beliefs. This should not be permitted under law! |
