Reply #125: If you get married in a church, but don't get the legal paperwork [View All]

the state won't recognize your union. If you go to the city hall get the license, and have a judge "marry" you, it is legal. The church ceremony is for show, signing on the legal documents is what gives you the rights under the law.

Allow Gays and Lesbians the legal rights rights all other citizens enjoy. If a church doesn't want to allow you to get married there, go somewhere else. One doesn't need the churches silly charade to be a legal couple.
