What if there was no marriage, legally speaking?

What if there were only civil unions?

What if the government got out of the marriage business?

What would it mean if we only let religious institutions decide (and sanctify) marriages?

Some would say yes, some would say no.

There could be all sorts of marriage types. Mny religions wouldn’t accept others as real. But that’s okay because the the Baptists already think that the Catholics are going to hell anyway (where marital status is probably irrelevant).

What if everyone had to get a civil union license to have all of the benefits of marraige discounts, joint tax returns, survivorship, hospital visitation, etc.

What happened to the separation of church and state? Why should some so called religion tell gay people they can’t marry, while some say they can’t?

In the immortal words of Tim Walz: “mind your own damn business”

And if it’s your business to inply that such marriages are damned, that may be your religious perspectivem but there is not way in hell it needs to be a law.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar, but if it’s a religious thing, what’s said in sunday school should stay in sunday school.

Get yourself a civil union either way.

And then go church shopping to get married.

You heard it here first.
