two separate issues.

Religous marriage- Usually a non issue with Gays because most churches would not marry them.

State Sactioned marrige- generally to assign feduciary rights and resposibilites for obligations,benifts and upon death . Probably should be called a civil union. Why should anyone not be able to assign thier benefits or assets to one of their choosing?


To uphold the constitution of the US Gays need to have all rights Granted under the powers of the constitution. Anything else is discrimination. Amending the constitution re gay marriage might be a leagal game but it sets a dangerous precedent. That of altering the document to exclude a group. It's wrong and a waste of time.
