afaik gays can get married in any church that will do it.

main issue is they want government/corporate/contractual benefits.

I don't see the difference to be honest between this issue and say, income tax regulation reform where everyone knows there are loopholes and crazy unjust crap that makes no sense and benefits special (corporate) interests and the like. or similiar issues.

personally I think that if GLAD would just lobby for official recognition of "homosexual unions" and claim it has nothing to do with "marriage", when the effects would be identical, it would get passed no problem.

I mean think about it, when man/woman get married in a church, they still have to get the piece of paper from the government. gays can get married today everywhere, they just can't get the government paper.
