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?

Personally, that is the solution I have always favored.
Let people decide what they consider a "marriage", so far as the government is concerned, everything is simply a "union". A nice, clean, politically correct term that cant offend anybody. It's the 21st century way.
Really, what does it matter to you if the government calls your relationship a "union" or a "marriage"?
