I cannot understand how a country that talks so much about the values of liberty and freedom would have a problem with same sex legal unions. If a church does not wish to have the ceremony under their roof, fine, that's their right. But the gov't needs to represent the people, and gays are... duh!
It makes financial sense, more than anything, to allow it. Why should only straights be able to do their taxes a certain way. For that reason alone I think it's a violation of human rights.
Mind you, you guys voted for Bush twice so I have no idea what the HELL is going on down there.
