destroying civil marriage was always the goal of the perverts

sounds like you are on their side

GeronL, I always though you were more of an independent thinker

I see this move as a plus, keeps the civil g’ment out of personal issues. This may force a whole new g’ment redefinition of civil society.

"sounds like you are on their side"

Don't put words in my mouth; I made my attitude to gay marriage very clear. My point is that civil marriage is already a joke, and that churches can - or should be able to - enforce their own marriage rules without state sanction. If you are worried about children, the law already protects them (or tries to) whether there is a marriage or not, or whether the parents ever even lived together. But it sounds like what you really want is for the Christian idea of marriage to be institutionalized by the state, and that is what you are calling "civil marriage." Unless there is a massive revival of Christian faith in this country, that is not going to happen.
