They aren't using blanket to mean a large piece of woolen or similar material but as an adjective to mean 'covering all cases or instances'. The term, 'blanket statement' is actually a pretty common phrase in the English language. Don't feel bad for not knowing that. English is a weird language even if it is my native tongue. blan·ket ˈblaNGkət/ noun 1. a large piece of woolen or similar material used as a bed covering or other covering for warmth. 2.

I don't know if Germany has this problem. I'm going to ask a stupid question. Are there two different types of marriage license in Germany? Does one say civil union and the other say marriage?

Especially given the German realities. Inform yourself, will you? Otherwise you're just running your mouth which adds nothing to your credibility. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)

No, it's not stupid at all. It's the fig leave retreat of conservative parties in Europe. They know, public opinion doesn't allow for outright fighting gay unions in the name of religion, so they found a half assed compromise. The Civil Union. It grants the same rights and obligations married people have without calling it marriage. That's a good source how things stand with gay marriage with included map. Notice that the most religious countries to the east don't allow for it, whereas the Scandinavians, as usual, are all for it. Interestingly Spain and Portugal also have gay marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:S...map_Europe
