as i said..... i dont have any problem with anyone being married. but i think the confusion between civil and religious terms will only be resolved by DIVIDING the terminology
and under CIVIL law... well... fine, you have a basis for demanding CIVIL rights..... but when you demand that people change their religious beliefs to suit you? no they wont.
so in my non expert opinion the way to get over the problem that a lot of people are opposing your civil rights on religious grounds, is to *separate* the terminology.. legally.
since we already have a term for the contract under civil law that is a civil marriage. "civil union" i suggest we have the givt only. ONLY recognize that leave the churches to their own choices.
