But I think that was a mistake, in my opinion it makes it look like the govt' endorses one religion (ie one that opposes gay marriage) and not another (ie one that does not oppose gay marriage). I wouldn't mind one bit calling my marriage a civil union, won't make the love I feel for my wife mean anything else, or lessen it a single degree.

Pretty much covers it....this administration is extremely christian and they are trying to put the doctrine into place as a means of gonerning the population. I suppose this would be acceptable if we were all christians, but we are not.
Too bad the constitution has lost the wieght it once had.
