The main problem with that is that peopel want everything.

I am not saying that gays do not have the right for this, but it is very difficult to keep. People in general are not that accepting of things.

What should be done is s seperation of church and state in this affair.

Churches can "Marry" someone, even without a license, and it will have NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on their legal status. Same as baptisms, confirmations, or even ordainment.

The State will issue the license of union, whatever you want to call it, and NOT call it marriage.

So Gays would only be able to get, literally, "Married" by a church that practices that belief. The government would have NO SAY in that.

The civil union, however, would be available between any two humans of consenting legal age.

For a country that says it seperates C+S, we sure have a HELL of a lot of mish-mash-and mingle!

(Although I loved his acceptance speech, the "God Bless" at the end makes me a bit uneasy. Not any sense of foreboding, but of the fact that something like this is considered NORMAL now, and any omission of that phrase would be seen as suspect....)
