I suppose you're right but traditionally marriage is a religious event and I just don't see why they'd wan't to be married

civil ceremonies are basically the same thing anyway to be honest just not religious
Minus many things viewed by the government, and a second hand marriage. BTW under this logic I should have a civil ceremony, as I'm atheist.

No offense, but that statistic you gave was pretty damn high. I'd be shocked if it was true.

but then again you have a point cause lots of straight people who get married aren't religious :S
Just looked and saw you lived in Wales. Maybe civil ceremonies differ from there.
Marriage is much more than just about religion. It's a statement of commitment to someone, and more importantly a change on everything by the government.
Honestly, if civil ceremonies had the identical same status as marriage, then there could be an argument. Although in some ways I would disagree.
The whole argument, well marriage means... is completely invalid. Marriage was not defined as a man and woman in dictionaries til much more recently. Gay marriages existed in both Greece and Rome. It doesn't really matter though. In about a decade Gay Marriage should start to be more allowed, as the US is about split down the middle right now on support.
