Same rights and everything as a marriage, but just called something different (like "Gayrriage"....I'm kidding, but you get the point). That way everyone's happy. Cause from a religious persons standpoint, MARRIAGE (the actually meaning of it) does say that it's between a man and womam. So, just make up some other union for same-sex couples that says beteen a man and man/woman and a woman. I dunno. People just need to love and not hate.  |
Yes, we do need to love and not hate. Keep in mind, though, that marriage is not a religious institution - there are secular marriages, and every religion has its own marriage preceedings and definition of marriage. To outlaw gay marriage as defined by Christianity for all marriages is tyranny, because Buddhists and Unitarian Universalists don't view gay marriage in the same way, so should the Christian view be forced down their throats? Of course not. Peace be with you.
