Man are you stupid. You've got the whole church and state thing so convoluted in your head that you've changed freedom of religion, to freedom from religion.
There is wide spread support for recognized legal civil union of gays. The same rights as being married. It's the word "married" that is causing the problem. Gays want the word married, not civil union. The whole thing is about semantics. As I said before, it's a red herring.
Quote:Who the fuck are you to tell a homosexual that he/she can't have a government recognized bond, affording them the opportunity to raise a family with his/her \"life partner\", solely because it went against the laws of any particular religious establishment?
