then civil unions could and should be federally recognized.

I feel certain that folks got married for centuries before any license was created.

Why?

Why not normalize it?
Why do we want generations of people growing up with this ridiculous belief that gay people are "wrong" or "weird" or "unnatural"?

So many people who call themsevles "Christians" would be the very ones condeming Jesus if he came back today. They are more about Old Testament vengenge than New Testament love. Love your neighbor, your enemy, don't judge, be generous, etc. That's why you see so much hate from them. Remember, Jesus hung out with the sinners and had no use for the rich or the self-righteous.

I have no problem with interfaith, interracial, or Gay marriage. I made no argument against Gay marriage, don't know where you are getting that. If you and your "partner" are happy, knock yourself out. I wish you the best!!

Perhaps in parts (or maybe all) of Oklahoma, but not in coastal California, nor in many other parts of the USA (and no, I'm not a Republican).
