Totally agree .
Maybe you could send that off to Tim for reference given that this Survey relates to the right of gay people to get married which obviously entails romance and consummation of the marriage by sexual love ?
Persons in these relationships (as far as I am aware) have the same civil legal rights as anyone else in a relationship.
If it is a spiritual union they are wanting to ratify by marriage (which entails romance and sexual love obviously) , then I cannot see how the teachings of the Bible in any way condone this and it is a step too far IMO to try to link the two.

Before we can successfully debate SSM, I think we need a clear definition of what the term 'marriage' actually means from a religious, legal and moral standpoint. Otherwise, won't people just continue arguing their own subjective opinion?
