I think there are two issues at hand when talking about two people committing to one another. You have marriage which is a religious institution. You have unions which are a legal contract between two adults.
Gay people are framing it all wrong, it should be about the legal recognition of two people, i.e. union. As for the religious aspect of coupling people together, religions should have a right to refuse to deny marriage to same sex couples.
I am in support of legal unions between same sex, and heterosexual couples. If the couples wish to go through a religious ceremony, than so be it, but the religious organization must have the option to accept or reject offerring said marriage.
It is nice to see the law clarifying itself. Gay couples should have a right to defend each other, and their families. As much as some who are against gay-families would like to believe that there are gay-families out there, there are many, and they should be equal to heterosexual families. The only reason that gay unions are an issue across the country is because gays are denied the ability to enter into a legal contract that opens the couple up to legal union benefits. There are many benefits that come with legal unions for heterosexual couple, and those benefits should be given to gay-couples also who have a legal union.
One question I have about all the discussion regarding this lesbian couple, and their family is did Salters harrass, and attack the couple because they were lesbian, and had children? I wishsomeone could reach down into what was going through Salters mind the whole time, from the moment he decided to stand up, and walk to the front of the bus towards the family, to him not heeding the warnings to stop when a handgun was being pointed at him.
