I still feel that it is a sad state of affairs that the supposed one true world power still doesn't allow civil marriages between people of the same sex.
This is the type of legislation we need in the U.S.,
The legislation also stipulates that the new definition of marriage is only binding on public institutions like courthouses and city halls.
It says religious institutions - churches, mosques, synagogues and temples - and individuals can continue defining marriage as they see fit.
I think most of us are of the opinion, who cares if the Catholic Church will marry us, we just want the same civil marriage that any man and woman can enter into together.
Marriage
