Question Whomod: Why exactly should gay people have a right to marry in a "private club", as I've heard my few gay friends describe it, which has a policy within said club, that specifically prohibits such actions? If it's an organization, there are no rights involved, just rules and regs. Even so, why would most gays, who feel that it is merely a symbol of bigotry, want to be bound together with someone they love by a bigot organization?

Marriage transcends law. Its not like Canada can tell the Vatican what to do and what not to do.


If this was already mentioned, then forgive me, but I didn't feel like going over the entire thread.
Legalizing gay marriage wouldn't force any private club (religion) to marry gay people. It would however prevent one church dictating that another church can't marry gays.
