I believe you 100% missed the meaning behind my post completely. I stated if the Christians are going to claim the word, than fine leave it for the Christian Straight people and stop letting non-Christians use the word because it's hypocritical. So let the CHURCH keep the word using it for their own sanction and only allow Straight Christians to use the word Marriage, and give Civil Unions to everyone else.
AGAIN it's pretty simply after reading what I wrote above everyone else would include everyone that's not straight and/or not a Christian. So Civil Unions would be used to everyone else that is not a Christian and/or Straight; AKA atheists/agnostics, homosexuals, etc.
I mean I seriously don't know how I can make it any clearer. You are a smart guy Chance, so I know you know what I meant and are simply nip picking the post lol.
And yes I am a Gay Christian, and I think its disrespectful to me as a Christian that some Churches wish to turn their back to me because I am Gay. But I am not going to return their ignorance. To me Marriage is just a word, not the meaning behind it. If the day comes that they give us Civil Unions I will still have the ceremony in a Church with a pastor; before the eyes of God.
And I will say sorry if I came off like an ass yesterday, I was in a piss poor mood, freakin ass patients yesterday were trying my patience.
