Many on the Cristian right in my country have came out vehemently against "Gay Marriage" saying that "Marriage is between a man and a woman" and that the Bible supports that.

OK, I will stiplulate that a religeon, or any church may forbid "Gay Marriage" in it's own doctrine. But not the state.

So, we will call it a "Civil Union". I am OK with that ......

BUT.....

If we stipulate that Marriage is religeous, then any couple wed by a "Justice of the Peace" (Judge) is in a "Civil Union" and are only granted the legal rights of that union, gay or straight.

Furthermore, if a church weds a gay couple, the state then cannot interfere with that religeon's right to do so.

Fair is fair people.

What are your thoughts on this?

Much Love and wedded bliss to all,

Kevin
