'''Same-sex 'marriage'''' is the official certification by civil authorities of a relationship between two persons of the same sex, conveying a legal status similar to those of marriages between person of the opposite sex, and called a "marriage" by the certifying authorities. The partners in any "marriage" are usually assumed to be in a sexual relationship, so a same-sex marriage is assumed to involve [[homosexuality]], which most Christian conservatives regard as immoral.
'''Same-sex marriage''', also referred to as [[homosexuality]], is an immoral relationship/lifestyle between two people of the same sex.
The Christian conservative organization [[Focus on the Family]] consistently presents the phrase as ''same-sex 'marriage,''' with quotation marks around the word ''[[marriage]],'' to emphasize their view that marriage—civil as well as religious—is intrinsically a union between a man and a woman, and that therefore same-sex unions can only be marriage "counterfeits."<ref>[http://www.family.org/socialissues/A000000464.cfm Same-Sex 'Marriage' and Civil Unions], ''Focus on the Family's'' website</ref>
