If this was about taxes then brand gay marriage a gay civial union, and leave God's covenant out of it. that way they benfit from the government in the same way and the church retains the covenant it has with God.
But if you remember last election time this term 'civial union' was not acceptable. Gay people want to be 'Married" or rather they wanted the government to take that right of the church and award it to a state sanctioned civial union.
Drich, zip your fly; your ignorance is showing again. Many states prohibited enacting laws that would allow civil unions. From the Ohio amendment that banned gay marriage:
Quote:This state and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage.
The Christian religious right made civil unions unacceptable! And don't give me any of the God's covenant bullshit. Christians have been running roughshod over Matthew 19:6 for centuries. God's covenant my ass.
This information isn't hard to find and nobody's password protecting it. Of course, doing any kind of research on a subject would mean you would have to forego just making shit up and trying to pass it off as fact.
