[QUOTE="trasnanadtonnta, post: 1199319, member: 6063"] Perse is of course completely right that marriage between two people is almost always about more than tax cuts, regardless of the people's genders. The other point is that, legally, none of that matters. Whatever any church might want to say about what marriage is, that's up to that church. (I mean legally, I'm not saying that makes it morally okay.) But the State doesn't and can't offer that kind of marriage, the spiritual stuff. The state can only declare people legally married, therefore giving them the rights to do all kinds of crazy, revolutionary things like visit their sick partners in hospital and so on. The state cannot withold that right from people on spiritual grounds. If it can, we might as well just declare Canon law, or Sharia law or whatever, and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
