We, homosexuals should be entitled Same-Sex Unions, it is unfair to ask religions to change a line of beliefs just to suit us. It is constitutional for people to marry, and until the term marriage is defined in the constitution then we should be allowed to go to the justice of the peace, and enter into a civil union.

Then again, if we are told that we can not enter into a union then we could use the Constitution to defend us, as we would then be viewed as slaves, because free people are not told who they may and may not marry, and who they will and who they will not have sex with, just where they may, and may not have sex. You see, that is the question, are we, (Homosexuals) slaves to this pseudo-religious culture, or are we free like other American's?
