Who are 'they'? I am saying that there should be no such thing as a 'marriage license'..at all. Everyone who decides they want to spend the rest of their life with someone should get a 'civil union'. If you want to get 'married' go to a church, synagogue, etc.... > > >> I think its been proven, more than once, that separate but equal just >> does not cut it. > > So we should force the church to recognize it? You really do have a reading comprehension problem, don't you? I have stated, quite clearly, marriage should be the concern of religious institutions, civil unions should be the concern of the government. I feel change needs to be made on the government side, not the church side. > >> A few weeks ago, a close friend told me the way he feels about it is >> very simple.
