Marriage has no place in civil law. You're right about that.Marriage is an institution ordained by God. It is not a human invention. Queers are not married. They're just queer.Why is it that that such a marriage "obviously isn't"? In civil-law terms, it is marriage. What your particular religious sect believes, that is your choice and your law within your sect's community.Then why do they insisted on calling it a marriage, when it obviously isn't? A marriage is a union between a man and a woman. They can call their perverted union whatever they like, but it's not marriage.If gays are not attacking the religious institution of marriage, then why did they refuse our offer of a civil union with the same benefits as married couples? Make no mistake. They do not want equal treatment. They want others to accept and even endorse their perverted lifestyle under penalty of law.
They DO want equal treatment, and they got it. If there is no difference between a civil union and a marriage, why the difference in terminology? You make it sound like people who are in something they describe as a "marriage" are actually in a "civil union." The word "marriagWhe" is used in civil law as well as in the beliefs of various religions, but they are not the same thing. One is religious law as recognized by various religious sects, the other usage is in civil law.
Also, who was the "our" in "our offer"?
Where Christian churches, other religions stand on gay marriage
Same-sex couples who want a religious marriage can be married in a religious ceremony in various religious traditions. It's up to their religious views.
It also is your sect's choice as to how to respond to those civilly-divorced persons who marry again while their first spouse is still alive, or how to respond to people whose marriage has been sanctified within your sect who then commit adultery or commit domestic abuse against their spouses, having first had their marriages sanctified by your sect. Religious law is totally separate from civil law.
I had a relative, now deceased, who married once, had a child with his spouse, and then they split. I don't know about his first wife or what kind of religious ceremony they had to sanctify their marriage, but he was a Roman Catholic, his second wife was a Roman Catholic, and his second wife, although loving him enough to agree to be his second wife, made it known to the family that she was aggrieved at having been deprived of a religious ceremony to confer a religious blessing on their union because of his status as a divorcee. The laws of the various religions are so different from the civil laws of the U.S.A. Deal with it.
Only in your own head, or the heads of the leaders of your sect. Whichever, it has no place in our U.S.A. civil law.
The state can't marry queers. Marriage is a religious construct...and a sacrament. Which is why Christian bakers can't fix special cakes for homo orgies that homos like to pretend are marriage ceremonies.
Let the fags get their own fake clergy to perform the rites, whatever they are. And let them get bakers who don't think they will go to hell for creating penis- and vagina-themed gakes for them to wallow in.
