Religion should be kept out of governments and the law! <BR/>Here in the UK we have civil partnerships and rightly so. <BR/>I am sick and tired that the church sticks its nose into people's private lives regardless which religion or none they practise and make judgements on a set of rules they came up with.<BR/>Mike, interesting point you made if there is a connection between attitude towards gays,attitude towards gun laws etc ;)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148839320275812337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-7541150524834694682008-10-11T18:59:00.000+02:002008-10-11T18:59:00.000+02:00I think the government needs to get out of the mar...I think the government needs to get out of the marriage business entirely. <BR/><BR/>If your religion or belief system wants to recognize any sort of marriage that's great, just don't expect all religions to support it.<BR/><BR/>I think there should be a civil recognition based on contract law, other then that; as in most things - Get the government out or people's lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-71842213296806603252008-10-11T18:43:00.000+02:002008-10-11T18:43:00.000+02:00i think it's great news. i can't wait for this tre...i think it's great news. i can't wait for this trend to finally start creeping inland, away from the seaboards.<BR/><BR/>i think eventually there'll be a tipping point; once enough many states with enough many people get experience with marriage equality, we'll see a rush of nearly all the rest of them, with only a handful of hold-outs left behind. i hope that tipping point comes soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
