The marriage issue once more

A few weeks ago I questioned the enthusiasm of the Centre for Cultural Renewal for a National Post editorial favouring civil unions. Apparently I was not the only one to call this stance into question, because Iain Benson felt it necessary to respond as follows: "On Having a Strategy to Engage Culture About the Nature of Marriage: The New Game of Governance and Law Without Morality or Philosophy." He believes that embracing civil unions is a second-best option offering at least some chance of preserving a semblance of religious freedom in Canada, which is otherwise threatened by the current direction the courts are moving us.
