re: #315 reine.de.tout

There are very good unbigoted people who, for religious reasons, would prefer to see the term “marriage” reserved for the religious ceremony, with the state getting out of the “marriage” business altogether and granting civil unions, and those who wish to be married would need the state civil union AS WELL AS the religious marriage.

But, it seems it’s perfectly OK to hate and be bigoted toward those folks.

So be it.

Do those same people object to the word “marriage” when talking about a civil marriage not accompanied by any religious ceremony? Because I’m not aware of anyone protesting the fact that the term “marriage” has been used outside of a religious context for a long time now. For this reason, have doubts about the sincerity of those people.
