Civil Union Law May Boost Rehobeth Beach’s Economy

Even though Delaware's civil union law doesn't go into effect for another seven months, Rehoboth Beach's Chris Beagle and Eric Engelhart are not only beginning preparations for their ceremony, but for many others as well.

The only time the Liberals use separation of Church and State is when it does not suit them in their needs.

Civil Unions violates that separation.

Marriage is a church determination - Marriage is directly from the bible.

No matter how you swing this it is still marriage.

Keep destroying faith and eventually lack of faith will destroy the Country
