I am going to state this in general, as a homosexual and an atheist, civil unions are not enough. I would vote against civil unions if it was on the ballet in my state! Separate is not equal according to me and the supreme court of the United States of America. It, the solution, must have the same name, processes, and benefits or I will not accept it.
The only circumstances where I would accept civil unions is if heterosexuals had to get them too.
Oh, and a quick hurry for Washington D.C. legalizing same sex marriage! Oh yeah, that's right! Our nation's capital! What a victory...
my question is why you want to legalize same sex "church" marriage? I mean, if I want to get married in a muslim moske, I don't believe I can (maybe there are liberal exceptions who would allow an open atheist to do so but I don't think so), but neither do I find it a big problem, because I have respect of the fact that muslims find their marriage sacred and therefore me getting married in their holy house would be sacreligious.
so is the reason you want to have a church marriages because you can't, or because it, in some other way than prohibits you from the actual process of it, inscrutinizes your civil rights?
I mean, if you get the civil rights from a civil union then every union is a form of civil union (whoa, "civil" and "union" galore), it's just a matter of whether you add a religious aspect to it or not.
Now I don't try to act moronic here, I'm pro-gay "religious" marriage in the sense that I think that any respectable religion would allow it, but I just don't want to force something down peoples throat, because that will just bring problems in the future instead.

my question is why they're not enough? is it because it inscrutinizes legal benefits etc. or because it's an option not available to you?
Anyway, I'm pro-gay religious marriage in the sense that I think that any respectable religion would allow it, but I don't want to force it down peoples throats because it will only bring problems in the future.
