I would say there is a difference between the legal union in the nation state's eyes and the union advocated by religious organizations. Religious organizations can still refuse to recognize these unions if they so choose. However, the nation state, in its attempt to be fair and equal to all peoples who live in this country, cannot withhold this legal standing from a minority of its citizens. If they do, they are treating that minority unequally. If you have a religion against it, you have a right to speak out about it, but you do not have a right to deny others equal treatment under the Constitution.
Yes, a little political for Thursday Goodness, but in my heart of hearts it is a step in the right direction towards fairness.

It's a start! Hopefully our state will catch on...
Yay! I didn't know!
YAY!!!!!
Isn't it funny when you get your news from blogs or Facebook rather than regular news outlets? I learned about it from my FB friends.
Sounds like goodness to me!
Right on! It's time we understand that religion is NOT the constitution. Freedom can only exist when all people are free!
