Quote:Actually there is evidence marriage predates or could predate religion.


But I agree, it should not be up to the Government on whether or not straight or gay people get married. Regardless of your beliefs.

Where?  As with my response to The Eleventh Doctor I can find none.  As I see it the word "marriage" is what seems to put the Christians on edge.  So to compromise why not give it to them.  Go get married in the church of your choice.  If you want the benefits of cohabitation then apply for a civil union with the government.  The left screams loudly about a separation of church and state so again I ask why is getting married a governmental benefit?
