You do by basing your objection to same-sex marriage in the definition of marriage according to your religion. You even cite religious reasons for your objection in earlier posts. That's pretty definitive.kylef wrote:
I meant no alternative to marriage - in that a civil union should not be considered so. Bit unclear, my bad. As in, a civil union should not give you the same binding that a marriage does. Gay couples can have the same rights, but in a "Are you married?" box it should be left unticked.Bertster7 wrote:

I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, and there should be nothing else and no other alternative. My views are really that simple.'Allah' is just a word for 'one God'. I'm not a Muslim and don't force my religion onto others.mikkel wrote:
Why not? Do you get a kick out of projecting your religion onto others? If men can't "marry" other men, why can Muslims call Allah their "god"? I thought there was only one god, too.
