The point is that, they (homosexuals) are in the eyes of the law married, and that gives such "unions" a sort of secular sanctification. When you get down to it, the whole point of marriage, whether performed by clergy or a civil official, is to give social aprroval to a union between two people who are going to engage in sexual activity. By elevating same-sex "unions" to co-equal legal status with "true" (1 man, 1 woman) marriage, it gives legal and social approval to depraved relationships. It also turns marriage as an institution into a farce, and will encourage more hetero couples to simply "shack-up", rather than bother going to the altar.

So true. Maybe we should get Churches to perform “Holy Matrimony” ceremonies, apart from the state, having nothing to do with the state, even without a state license. Married in the eyes of God, not the depraved Govt.
