Philip Newton's journal

Like many others, I object to any kind of protectionism given to heterosexual couples over homosexual ones. If the state wants to pull entirely out of the marriage issue and only offer civil unions or domestic partnership licenses, and you can get married on your own religiously if you're so inclined (as in France, where everyone has the legal ceremony and about 60%-odd go on to the religious ceremony), that's totally fine.

If a select religious group wants to only offer marriage to opposite-sex couples, that's fine. They can take the heat, and they're an independent organization and allowed to think and do what they want.

But I object to discriminating in any way against consenting adults in love.
