 I was saying that domestic partnership should be a legal, governmental
 union separate from the church, open to anyone who qualifies and equal
 in benefits to a marriage.

 Marriage should be a church function, and churches can marry who they
 choose (or choose not to) but legal rights and benefits of a union
 should be a separate function.

 Let a gay couple file their taxes jointly, have the legal protections
 married people have, have legal rights when it comes to medical care
 for their partner and so on. Let the government determine those rights,
 not a church.

 The spiritual union belongs to the church, and that's completely
 separate from the legal aspect.
