But marriage, as in a holy union, in the eyes of God, can only be between a man and woman. To think it can be anything else is foolishness.
Well dude, the issue of civil unions is the kernel of the debate. Nobody cares about religious marriages. If queers get to have civil unions, which are unions recognized by the state, they will get all the rights they deserve, such as inheritance, hospital visitation, etc. that hetero couples enjoy. My question is why shouldn't they have these rights? Do you really believe that it would somehow make hetero marriages less special?
