And that will happen here in CA also.
Why can't straight and gay unions all be classified as "civil unions" by the Federal Gov. and then if a couple wants they would be "married" in the eyes and church of their choice.
That way the right wing can keep their holy roller attitudes to themselves.
Sorry. Venting.
Hey OCDreamer! I have proposed the same thing!
Why is the government in the marriage business in the first place?
We should all be able to partner with whom we choose to get the tax and legal benefits from the government.
We should then choose to put said relationship on whatever spiritual path we want, NO MATTER WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS.
I know that there would be a fuckin' firestorm if someone in power proposed taking marriage power out of the hands of the government, but this is the way things should be, IMO.
