I'm talking about government controlling the definition of marriage. When did I say I'm against two people committing themselves to each other? I don't believe homosexual relations are moral, but at the same time, I have no right to control other people's lives and to not love them. I think a lot of things people do are immoral. The reason I'm okay with civil unions is because I think it's an issue of equality under the law. Civil unions would give gays access to the same rights and privileges under the law as anyone else without redefining an institution that is sacred to many people. I think government should stay out of marriage. We should all have just civil unions as far as the law is concerned. I don't need the government to tell me I'm married.
That seems to be some confused thinking. Marriages are performed in either a religious or in a civil setting. Civil unions are basically government marriages. Since the rules of inheritance are established by the government establishes the marriage rules and regulations for ending them.
As far as the morality issue is concerned the Bible is the last place to look for guidance. Not one couple in the entire Bible had what could be considered a moral marriage. So the last thing anyone should want to copy is a marriage example from the Bible.
