Gay Marriage

[Munkay]

We have the freedom as a country to say no to something.

Possible nit, it may just be due to the way language works.

We individually have a right to individually say no to something, for religious purposes etc, but we do not have the right as a country (as a whole) to say no to something that does not encrouch upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

At least that is the idea behind the constitution. Well, negative freedom self governance is more the idea, but yeah.

I agree with Griselda that government certification of 'marriage' should be replaced with civil unions for all married couples, homo or hetero. And reserve differing religions to make their definition to what counts as religious marriage. I am pretty sure this is what you ment as well, just verifying Deadlyman. :)
