Gay rights amendment

[kahljorn]

"I have met many people who firmly believe that legalizing same sex marriage will somehow make it illegal for churches to refuse to marry homosexuals. You seem like one of those people."

I have no idea how you came to that conclusion when what I said was that I didn't want it to be illegalized because there are some churches that don't care if you're gay and that would clearly be endorsing one system of belief over another. The fact that I was sticking out for the only situation in which there is an outright refusal makes me wonder how you came to that conclusion at all.

Sethomas, I don't see why gays need to get married anyway, i thought there were civil unions or something. Do those new same-sex marriage bans also fordbid civil unions? I was wondering about that because of the wording they use. they say something like, "GAYS SHALLNOT BE MARRIED ORJOINED UNDER ANY EQUIVALENT INSTITUTIION".
