In CA, we are about to vote on a constitutional amendment on whether marriage should be defined as between a man and woman.

I didn't say there's anything "wrong" with that, sigh.

How does the current sitution in California, where marriage can legally be obtained by couples regardless of gender, and churches are free to choose to santify or not sanctify those unions not provide the full protection of freedom of religion for ALL people religions, not merely those who share your views?


The legal definition of marriage has nothing to do with religion.

What's the big deal, then, why is it so impossible, for us to leave it at "civil unions"?

~Marriage, to me, is a great deal about commitment.. This is only my opinion, mind you.

I don't consider it just a word, and utterly meaningless, neither do the same sex couples who've celebrated their marriages in my church.
