And what is the difference between a civil union and marriage? As far as I am concerned, my parents have a civil union. Went to the courthouse, said I do, got a piece of paper and filed it with the Clerk. Civil Union meaning non-religious. A _marriage_ is about a ceromony that takes place in a church. It is a religious sacrament. Being of the Orthodox faith, guess what? Will not happen in my church. Against the religion. And I am ok with that. I really am. There is a seperation of Church and State last I checked. Well, theoretically at least. The state should not be allowed to deny a license. Nor should they discriminate on the basis of orientation. But a marriage in a Church? That is up to individual Churches and not politicians. Ok. I am so sick of all this hoopla. I have a simple question. What defines Gay Marriage.
