I have requested this in specific conversations but in no way gotten a resolution. What's the difference in between "municipal unions" and "relationship" for identical sex partners which makes you aid the quite very first although not the 2nd? Could it be just the title, or do you think about identical-sex and opposite-sex partners must certanly be treated differently by regulations or other establishments(and if that's the case, what distinct variations)?

Simple A marriage is a union solemnized in a church ceremony.  IMHO between a man and a woman.   A civil union is a legal arrangement.   Mr.Chairman_is_Gone's Recommendations Why Marriage Matters: America, Equality, and Gay People's Right to Marry Amazon List Price: $13.00 Used from: $0.22 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5(based on 14 reviews) Same-Sex Marriage: Pro and Con Amazon List Price: $14.00 Used from: $2.99 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5(based on 8 reviews) Mr.Chairman_is_Gone 77 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.

marriage is sacramental, civil union is governmental. in my mind, the State has no business dispensing marriage licenses or authorizing clergy to sign them or prohibiting clergy from performing whatever their religion recognizes as a marriage; the State is thereby exerting control over religion.  if the State wants to say that some two people can form a household(by joining in a civil union) for government purposes(such as taxes, "domestic partner" rights, and so on), and wants to regulate such households because of the State?s interest in child welfare, fine, let it dispense licenses for civil union; but then it can?t constitutionally discriminate against same-sex civil unions without well-accepted evidence that same-sex unions provide parenting inferior to that offered by mixed-sex unions.  Government, keep your hands off what my religion considers a marriage!  That goes for making polygamy illegal also; that?s a religious issue.  All that the State can legitimately say is that civil unions will consist of only two people.  There should be a wall of separation between marriage(which is sacramental, and governed by the rules of the participants? religion) and "domestic unions"(which are authorized by  virtue of government's relationships with its citizens).

Why would a gay person want to "be like mike" and want to have the institution of marriage...a very religious based entity?  If two homosexuals which to legally bind themselves for the purpose of sharing assets, inheritenance laws, insurance etc...that's fine with me...I can support that.    What I won't support is that they(the homosexuals) want to invade my world, make me change the perspective of my herterosexual marriage concepts and shove "being gay is okay" down my throat.  Being gay is not new...but in todays more sophisticated world homosexuals have worked very diligently to bring homoseuality to an acceptable entity.  I still don't believe that homosexuality is okay...I think that their will always be something wrong to that "lifestyle"...(unless it's too girls then it's okay....just joking...just joking)... but I believe in America and that even those who have different ideas(however wrong I may feel they are) have a right to exist and have a right to establish some sort of happiness and benefits from being commited.  That is so long as they don't compromise the rights of others.  That does not mean taking over established religious entities/institutions to creat an air of legitimatacy of their particular situation.
