In Great Britain, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has expressed its full support to the stand taken by the Catholic Church opposing regulations on gay adoption. The Catholic Church sought to be exempt from the new law. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams of the Church of England, supports the Catholic Church's efforts declaring that the rights of conscience cannot be subject to laws. Catholic leaders have already said that its teachings prevent its agencies placing children with homosexuals and they will have to close if bound by the rules. The MCB, the UK's leading Muslim umbrella group embracing over 400 affiliated organizations, said that while it supported anti-discrimination laws, homosexuality is forbidden in Islam. <ref>[http://www2.irna.com/en/news/view/menu-234/0701266670200554.htm UK Muslim group backs Christian opposition to gay adoption rules London], Islamic republic News Agency, Jan 26, 2007.</ref>

==Homosexual domestic violence==
A particularly worrisome factor among [[gau rights]] [[activists]] is the prevalence of violence and emotional abuse in gay doemstic partnerships. One suvery found 53% of gays felt if the high incidence violence angainst partners in homosexual relationships was known and understood by the heterosexual population it would hinder the drive for gay rights.
Domestic abuse is divided into two categories, emotional abuse and physical abuse. While gay domestic abuse has not been studied to the extent that heterosexual relationships have, all preliminary studies indicate a much higher level of abuse. Due to the incomplete nature of studies and lack of focus thus far, what is commonly reported is that the incidence gay domestic abuse are "as prevalent as heterosexual relationship." This on its face is true, but it would be more accurate to declare "the incidence gay domestic abuse are at least as prevalent as heterosexual relationship."
Gays report 83% have claimed to be emotionally abused by partners. One type of emotional abuse--threatening to "out" a partner to family, friends, or employers is unique to homosexual relationships. Legalization of so-called "gay marriage" still would not end this type of abuse. Morality cannot be legislated.
Although the studies are decades behind heterosexual studies on violence between men and women, the indications are that homosexual relationships suffer from a much higher degree of physical violence than heterosexual relationships. Several studies have been made, and more are ongoing. However it is safe to say at this juncture that homosexual domestic relationships suffer from violence two to fours higher than the well studied incidence in heterosexual relationships.
