Remember, this thread is about "Should homosexuals be allowed to marry" - not "Should religious marriage mean more than/less than/be distinct from civil union." My proposal that the two should be totally separate - ie. No legal aspect *at all* (including restriction) to the religious ceremony, and no religious aspect *at all* to the civil ceremony (including banning homosexuals) - was simply a proposal to fix the problem, not the point of the thread itself.
Exactly. Go back to page one and check. The fact that "Should homosexuals be allowed to marry?" is two distinct questions (1 legal, 1 spiritual) is exactly why I broke my first answer into two enumerated parts.
