If a supporter of marriage between man and woman cannot describe the difference between a civil ceremony of a man and woman and a civil ceremony of a gay or lesbian couple - there is no difference.

I can understand some doubting a religious ceremony but not a civil ceremony to give all the legal rights to a gay or lesbian couple as to a straight couple.

Remember that only in the 1960's it was illegal for a mixed racial couple to marry. Now, we have the offspring of one such couple in the White House.

It is only a matter of time that gay and lesbian couples will be able to marry legally and have all the legal rights as straight couples.

With that final word, I am on hiatus and off to the Caribbean for a while.
