2. I am for the government allowing any 2 people to form a Civil Union. Said union is a contract with monetary implications. It has nothing to do with sex. Most married people would want to form a civil union. But two sisters who live together might also want to form a civil union. It would allow for protections not afforded such people.
3. I would never perform a marriage ceremony for a gay couple. I would not likely perform such a ceremony between a man and a woman who did not fully accept the covenant relationship with God that I personally believe marriage to entail (in other words, if you are Baptist or neo-pennycostal go find someone else to hitch you)

I'm 100% in agreement with this post.
