[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="xaos"]They can't and that's never been what this is about; it's about legal marriage. Marriage in the USA is a legal phenomenon, which is why you can get married at City Hall by a public official. There would have been nothing that would force churches to perform gay marriages, just as they are free to deny to perform ANY heterosexual marriage .xaosLegal marriage = civil union, right? Depends on the rights associated with each :) The reason that there is some opposition to the civil union term though, is that treating straight relationships and gay relationships differently means that they are being regarded as different and it comes back to the "separate but equal" thing I mentioned above.
BUT THEY ARE NOT EQUAL.
How many men do u know who have had babies? Thanks.
