Hi Y'All,
In a way I agree with Bush on this, but don't worry, I'm as shocked and horrified by the thought of agrteeing with Bush as the rest of you.
I do believe that "Marriage" IS defined by the bible and thus is only permissible between a man & a woman.
End of discussion on "Marriage".
Having said that, I also believe that a civil & religious "(lifelong) Committment ceremony between same sex couples should be possible (along with legally binding "Seperation" procedures). In effect "Marriage & Divorce" without the implied procreation issue. It isn't actually marriage (or divorce), but it should be legally recognised for the same purposes (pensions, taxes, insurance, inheritance) that marriage & divorce are.
What is sought by the homosexual comunity is a way of declaring their committment to one another, one which is recognised in law. That does NOT have to be (& indeed could not be) "Marriage". That is not to say it cannot exist.
Mike.
