“There needs to be a uniform definition of marriage in this country”
Isn’t Santorum Catholic? If so, marriage is a religious sanctity. Any legal arrangement made by the state outside of the church isn’t marriage, it is a civil union... even heterosexuals that get “married” at city hall. As long as the state doesn’t force the church to perform the rite, marriage is protected as far as I am concerned.
I’ve tried pushing the idea that the best way to defeat the queers on this issue is to simply get government out of marriage altogether.
I got lit up like the fourth of July here on FR for that stance. It seems that even conservatives WANT to have to ask government permission to join together in love as God intended.
If marriage was only a religious institution rather than a state one, then why would the gays care about marriage at all?
