Isn't that what we have already with civil partnerships?

Why not? We're all human beings and I just wish the issue of sexuality would cease to be such a big thing. It's up to each individual and there is no need to for it to be in everyone's face all the time. If two people of the same sex wish to get married that's their business and no one else's. I think the thing that's getting folks excited about this is that it involves a church and God which a minority (I would say) are against.
