Sure, why not? Why does the city have anything to do with regulating my personal relationships anyway? If I want to have a 14-person marriage circle, how does that affect the city / province / country?
A 14-person marriage does in the same way opposite-sex marriages affect society.
Separately: if every single city council started issuing marriage licenses equally, there could still be a US federal amendment. The cities are not involved in the decision making for that, merely the lobbying. And if churches start spending money, then god help us. So to speak. You're right about the front page too -- look at how the issue rises and ebbs in Canada, as the media remembers it and then forgets about it again...
I probably should have been more clear. The momentum of support/attacks from every city would influence the course of an amendment.
Aren't some churches already spending money on the issue?
