The Silent Number

No, i'm not joking. This would be an even bigger change than accepting gay marriage, but it makes a lot of sense. Marriage should be left alone as a purely religious institution and giving it legal recognition is a violation of the separation of church and state. Instead, the legal standing of marriage should be abandoned and replaced by Civil Unions. No more arguing about who can love who because a Civil Union does not imply any romance. There are certain rights gained from a marriage that a civil union does not have but that should change with this. Citizens of the State of Massachusetts can add their support to this cause on Governor Deval Patrick's MyIssue site.
