We are regularly asked to vote regarding Marriage between Gays, Lesbians and Transvestites. The issue is about legal rights between consenting adults. The problem exists due to the fact that our laws have been usurped by the church regarding social contracts resulting in the imposition of a moral, predominately Christian bent on this subject. The result is a narrowing of the concept of marriage to exclude unions that are not explicitly stated as such. Civil Union Contract, not recognized by the state as marriage, may be used to close the gap left by the law regarding marriage with explicit language to describe the nature of such contracts. I fail to see why this would be a subject of public concern but for the application of terms.

The church has no say in the matter of our governmental laws. They do not own marriage. The states and federal government sanction marriage. The church sanctions holy matrimony.
