As for those of us that aren't christian, well that argument is just downright insulting...Now if ppl want to get married in a church well that's a whole different aspect...As for the "nuclear" family argument, I have seen more then my share of "nuclear" families that had serious problems...

Well said, esp. about the civil union thing, separation of church and state and all that!!
