Unions, regardless of the sexuality of the couples, are equal under the law. They are performed by a licensed person and filed with the county as a union certificate. |
I agree with you 100%.
There are plenty of countries where religious weddings have no legal status. I know my cousin 'married' twice in Italy, the first was the legal documentation which is all fairly low key and simply a matter of paperwork. From that point he was legally married although the church ceremony was several days later and for him personally that was his marriage, the first part was merely the formalities. It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
