[quote=Anonymous]No, it's not how it works. To be "married" you have to get the license, then have it signed by either your religious person or a judge - who then records it with the court.  I think that middle step (judge/religious person) should be taken out of the requirement to be married - and I think it should be called a civil union for all of us - heteros and gays - because that's what it is - it's giving you some legal distinctions from single adults.  I think "married" should stay away from the government all together - we should all get a civil union.  And then those of us that want to add another religious service on top of that (marriage) can do so without any government involvement.

Likewise, if there are those of us that want to get "married" in a church and forego the civil union part (polygamists come to mind) they can do that as well - and not get the benefits that the government would bestow on those of us that have a civil union.

I think it's a pretty simple and clear solution (and don't understand why my Republican bretheren don't fight for this) - the government shouldn't get in my religious or personal business - my religious marriage should be completely separate from any legal benefits I get from the government.  To get those I - and everyone - should have to get a civil union.  [/quote]
