I have come to realize that we are not a christian nation, but a secular one. Because of that all citizens are deserving of equal treatment under the law. I still think that homosexuality is sinful, but I think a lot of things people do are sinful, and this doesn't effect whether or not I care for an individual.
I have no problem with the civil union thing and government getting out of the marriage business, with one caveat. That the church get the fuck out of the legally binding agreement business. You want marriage limited to a religious function? Fine, as long as it has no legal ramifications whatsoever. If you want to reduce it to a promise before your gawd, knock yourself out. Civil unions could them become the legal end of what marriage is today and marriage can become no more important to the functioning of society than whether or not your holy shaman dunked you in some water.
Anyone who claims the buy-bull clearly defines marriage as one man and one woman hasn't read that fucking book.
