That has nothing to do with this.
In addition there is not a piece of electronic that hasn't been made or contains parts that are made in Chinese, Taiwanese or Vietnamese sweatshops. Most of the clothes that you are wearing probably come from places like these too.
If you would care as much about Chinese workers as you are trying to appear, than you should throw out your electronics and undress, and leave us here discussing in peace about something that is on-topic.
That's because it's a logical and rational argument. It's much easier for people to win an emotional one, regardless of facts. Seen it many times over the years on both side of this topic.
I don't know a european country where the government does not perform a civil marriage between a heterosexual couple. Some perform it for homosexual couples as well and then there are some countries, like Germany, where the homosexual 'marriage' is not fully equal to the heterosexual one and therefore called a 'civil union' (eingetragene Partnerschaft).
It is when someone's beliefs on their "god" work to actively take away the rights of others. NOM and many anti-LGBT rights groups have used your justification to impose their beliefs on others. This was the same arguments used to justify bigotry in interracial marriage and many other disgraces in social justice. Further, marriage laws recognize more rights than civil unions, so it is not simply an issue of what it is called.
Educate yourself on the law before spouting your opinions and beliefs as fact.
So is the "church" prejudiced against alcholics, since it says getting drunk is a sin too?..
I don't have to hear you say "yes" to know that you're mad.
And I don't have to know your views to hear you say how much you love it and how much you dislike anyone with a religious viewpoint. Amazing contradiction there, too.
I agree, why risk alienating potential anti same sex marriage customers when they could have just kept there mouth shut.
Everyone is prejudiced by their own background and world view. I've seen a lot of prejudice in this very thread against Christians. Why are people tolerant of that?
And they should be equal in any legal regard. And the religious views be left to the church. Fully legal and rights-granting civil unions would be a path towards this.

When the church actively backs legislation to take away civil rights of those who get "drunk" we can talk about prejudice.
Disagreeing is one thing - actively advocating inequality is something else entirely.
When was the last time gay rights activists supported laws to criminalize religion and those who practice it?
Do you mean to say that anyone over the age of child bearing should not be allowed to get married, and the same for people who have no intention of having children, and that people who are married and not being able to conceived by the end of their child bearing age should get a divorce?
Period? its this sort of black and white thinking that makes the situation as unhealthy as it is right now. "I'll tolerate your opinion as long as it matches my views."
There are even gay folks who are against gay marriage. Let me guess they are traitors and closet homophobes right?
Look, I don't care what these people do ...
As long as we don't have a gay jury!

Yeah, because that's the same thing.
Let me know when the church tries withhold rights from drinkers that sober people otherwise have.
