Yes, this way just passed in our legislature(canada) like two days ago.
I think it should be classified as a civial union. Marrage was, and still is a religious ceremony, and is done before God. Now this is a can of worms, but this element of the question is critical. If you believe in the bible, you can't be gay. It is just a matter of fact and I'm sorry for any religious homosexual catholics out there, but you can't honestly tell me or anyone else differently.
I think consenting adults should be allowed to do what they want, and if two people decide to live and co-exist together in a relationship they deserve rights. Now how many rights they get depends on weather they have children, and this is another big issue.
Tax breaks are there to develop and strengthen families. This being said, I don't believe that Homosexual couples should have the ability to adopt children, therefore I don't think they should get all the rights that a usual marrage does, and like I stated before I think it should be called a cival union and not a marrage.
Hopefully I've stated my opinion here curteously and not offended anyone, it is just my oppinion and I by no means look down on anyone reading this that may be Gay.
