I explained that a radical leftist, like me, doesn't even conceive of how marriage is an issue to the government. There shouldn't be civil unions, except in the context of everyone going through a bureaucratic process of registering as a pair of citizens (that's what we do now--even if one gets married in a church). If churches want to marry people, go ahead--any church can do what it wants in terms of marrying people. Marriage is a religious institution--that's why it shouldn't be an issue with the federal government.
I just thought Lebell would likely agree with that perspective. I wouldn't have gone off on a tangent otherwise (or if I wasn't stoned).

Wow,
I almost completely agree with that...and I'm not even stoned
