Not when state sanctioned marriage is offered to you and your partner, but not to me and my partner...

And based on last weeks court ruling, it seems the courts are agreeing with me.

If you want to be married that bad, move to a place where it is legal. Simple solution.

Oddly a religious marriage requires a secular acknowledgement to be legal and a secular marriage or civil union, they mean the same, does not require a religious ceremony. I object to the secular law creating a specific class of people (same sex couples) to enforce a personal dislike or religious dogma. If you would defend freedom, defend what you despise.

It would be a much better world if we all applied that.
