My co-worker, who is a mix of super Christian let go and let God and for the love of all things who cares if the gays can have a legal union is along those lines. Apparently the Christian's have a huge issue with the word "marriage". I explained that "marriage" has become like a verb, like Google. It seems to have sunk in, with her at least - people don't want to undermine religion, they just want the same rights. She's voting No.
