Quote by Tony Campolo

I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions.

I propose that the government should get out of the business

Summary

This quote suggests that the government should no longer be involved in officiating marriages and should instead recognize only civil unions. By doing so, it implies that the legal aspect of personal relationships should be separate from the religious or cultural ceremonies associated with marriage. By adopting civil unions as the legally recognized form of partnership, the proposal aims for a more secular approach that treats all couples, regardless of their orientation or religious beliefs, equally under the law.
