Gays shouldn't be able to call it marriage....it is a "civil union", you can have all the "marriage" benefits you want. Marriage isn't defined by government, it was defined in church by religion. It has nothing to do with government. If the government wants people to get a license to prove they are under a certain tax law, or able to have certain "rights" to each other's property, call it what it is, a legal union. But, marriage is something defined in religion. Nothing against gays, but, I don't find many of them to be real religious zealots. Maybe I just don't know too many of them. Most I know are rather agnostic, and, perhaps that is because they felt ostracized by their church for so long.
Is it normal to think the government should be uninvolved in marriage?
