the world is upside down.

Twenty years ago, did you ever think that the Commonwealth of Virginia would be behind South Africa in anything that could be described in a sentence including the words "equal rights"?

And yet.

I've been saying the same about Israel for the past few years. Upside down? inside out? Something.

The bill provides for the "voluntary union of two persons, which is solemnized and registered by either a marriage or civil union." It does not specify whether they are heterosexual or homosexual partnerships.

But it also says marriage officers need not perform a ceremony between same-sex couples if doing so would conflict with his or her "conscience, religion and belief."

This is the perfect balance, imo. I can't understand why people have such a hard time with this.
