I recently had a civilized yet lengthy discussion with someone from London over at YouTube about gay marriage. He was against the use of the word "marriage" when referring to the gays. I explained that I would be happy if all unions in the eyes of the gov't were called "civil partnerships" (or whatever) and leave it up to the religions to decide what is and isn't "marriage" in their eyes. We agreed on that...

I could vote for that, too, cricket.

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.

That makes me so happy I can't adequately express it in words. Three down, 47 to go?

Do you think Utah or a Southern state will be last?

Morrigoon · 10-10-2008, 11:01 AM

I think those final states will not be resolved unless there is a battle at the Federal level

I agree Morrigoon. There's no way the theocratic states will accept this reality until forced to do so.
