It's so strange how some people, upon hearing that gay marriage is now legal, instantly have the thought of "well, nobody should be able to get married then." It's a lot of "taking your ball and going home" energy. Nobody is saying that. The discussion is over whether marriage, a religious institution, should confer legal benefits to married couples in a country that has constitutionalized the separation of church and state. I think there are good arguments for having benefits that encourage family stability which is why I suggested moving those benefits over to civil unions which anybody can get. Either way, the only reason anybody can even make a religious liberty argument is because people keep insisting that "marriage" specifically should be a protected right and not the legal benefits conferred to it. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
