<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#ff8000>I have a question about your (everybody's) opinion on same-sex marriage and whether it should be legal or not. Now I personally don't agree with it on a moral level, but I'm having a hard time trying to decide whether or not I think it should be legal. The religious side of me tends to say "No way," but the political side generally points me in the direction of making same-sex marriage legal so as to give equal rights to all lifestyles. I do, however, think the civil union thing is doofy. I think it should either be all or nothing, illegal or legal. I know the civil union thing is seen by a good intermediary step by lots of people on both sides of the issue - for proponents of same-sex marriage it offers a step in the right direction and many objectors are happy that at least its not marriage - but I still have no concrete opinion on the legality of it. Just wondering what others of you in here - as moral and/or religious people I like to think - have to say.</FONT></DIV>
