Ok once again. Wow. I just loved so many of these posts and the discussion. It is my understanding...and I am not well versed in the Bible..but marriage in the Bible is defined as a union before God between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation.

Having said that...does that mean that marriages such as mine are invalid because we do not intend to procreate???

If not then...it is way past time to seperate the two. My husband and I were married by the Mayor of our little town of Port Matilda. It was a legal cival union that is binding. I don't see any reason whatsoever that the same can't be done for homosexual couples. We decided this because my husband is Jewish and I am Neo-pagan. We love one another and wish to spend our lives together. But you know what...we had to get married...he is also Canadian and I am American...and for him to remain here and work we HAD to be married. SO! My point in this rambling is if the government can insist 2 people perform a civil ceremony in order to be able to live and work in this country then they can darn well allow homosexuals to do the same.

Take the religon out of our government. It has no business being there at all!!! Leave the religon in the churches and the legality in the government.

Not sure if I said that right but....yea...that is what I mean...
