    What about the churches and synagogues that do want to bless same-sex marriages--why do they have to follow what the fundies do?

      currently as to its definition, maybe?  and maybe that's the crux of the problem?  i don't get your inability to get it.

        of your arguments as encapsulated in your answer here, then you should re-read what you just wrote until it ios apparent.

        but if you DO see the hypocrisy, then you are intentionally missing the point and are just being divisive and hijacking the commentary.

        you said it all when you wrote that

        the term is regulated by the government

        in a nutshell, you have already answered your own queries here.

        the term and its legal, binding nature is SOLELY a state-sanctioned and state-controlled and state-licensed activity.

        the church is extraneous and unnecessary.

        apparently you already know this.

        which would then make your continued questioning and interaction merely rhetorical boxing and goading.

    •  They should be allowed to... (0+ / 0-)

      ...simple as that. If a church wants to bless same-sex unions and call it "marriage", that's the purview of the church.

      The government has no business making any distinction with regard to interpersonal contractual matters like civil marriage.

      There's nothing stopping churches from blessing or refusing to bless any union it feels is appropriate.
