Re: Gay marriages... dictated by religious authorities
Metric,
I agree with you, have no issue with the religious meaning of marriage. However when the law starts discriminating between its own citizens about economic advantages I have an issue. That is the essence of my OP. Any churches, mullah, rabbis, whatever should NOT dictate the legal position which should be without discrimination.
I am very happy that a secular marriage be, or not, recognized by the catholic or other churches. That is NOT the issue. However when the catholic or whatever, or whenever, church or religion starts to interfere and dictates what the secular laws should be, I have an issue.
