And on the subjects of Klein and same sex marriage, he says that his government may stop solemnizing marriages altogether, leaving marriages to the work of the churches. Apparently, JPs would be allowed only to grant civil unions, not marriages. And here I thought his beef was with same sex marriage, not atheist marriage. My fiance and I were planning to get married using a JP, because we're not at all religious. Under this legislation, the most we could do is get a civil union unless we went to a church? WTF is that supposed to prove, Ralph?
