My government, in its infinite wisdom, decided yet again that matrimony is only holy when it is between a man and a woman. Gays and lesbians? Are already allowed to enter a civil union and should be damn grateful for that, period. (Never mind that they don't get the same tax breaks, have the same health insurance rights, can't adopt kids, etc.)
And no, there will be no overturning of this ridiculous law by our Supreme Court, as they argue that our constitution clearly sets apart marriage between a man and a woman from any other union, and since the holy matrimony is specifically protected by law, it is not against equality rights to give the man/woman union special treatment.
