If homosexuals want to bond, they can have ‘civil (somethings)’ but they can't have a ‘civil marriage’.
“Marriage” is “marriage”. Between one man and one woman. To call a relationship between two people of the same sex a marriage is to dilute “marriage” to the point it no longer means what it did. Maybe it would mean nothing at all.
Of course same-sex “marriage” is not marriage, no matter what the law says!!!
But the “gay” activists and their parasites have made such a hash out of civil marriage (and out of marriage in liberal protestant “churches”), that the Church (or even the state) may have to resort to such expedients as to separate civil and Sacramental marriage, as in several European countries. (The state WILL recognize Christian marriage, since Christian couples will obtain both a licensed civil marriage and a Sacramental Marriage.)
I don’t see a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman happening anytime soon. Such an amendment would settle the whole issue in the best way possible.
