We should be allowed to vote on this very sensitive matter and what I consider to be a very personal issue and different opinion for each one of us. I do not descriminate against homosexuals and lesbians. I think that they should be allowed to have a legal union with the same benifits as marriage, just don't call it marriage, because it's not!

It most certainly is. Just because you don't believe it to be doesn't mean it isn't. You say you would want us to have a legal union with the same benefits as marriage but not call it marriage? Isn't that discrimination, as well?

Besides, letting people vote on it would just allow religion to enter politics even more.
