The other day I was talking to my Dad, who as a JP in Vermont is prepared to resign rather than perform a civil union. I asked him a few questions:

Did he think that people being gay were personal decisions or were they "just born that way." He agreed they were born that way.

Did he think they were capable of feeling love in the way that he felt love for his children and his wife. He said they did.

I asked him if he felt they were worthy of transferring wealth and powers to make decisions for each other in times of crisis and sickness. He did.

The problem is not with the concepts of what the governmental perception of "marriage" is; because to the government it is merely a binding contract between two people of legal age.

The problem is with the religious significance of what a "marriage" is. And that is why you will not win this battle. They will "call" it something else. It will be a governmental recognition of a partnership--akin to a corporation or LLC. Those being "bound" will call it "marriage."

Its coming and there ain't nothing any of us can do about it. I for one, dont fear it because no one is trying to turn me gay. I'm not a good enough dresser.
