Besides, aren't there all kinds of laws about discrimination? Seems to me that denying people the right to be legally married is pretty discriminatory. Nice double standard there.
I totally agree this is the government saying one religion in better than another. I also think gays should be allowed to serve openly in the military. I was in the Navy for five years as a corpsman (medic) and there were a few guy/bi sailors onboard ship. They never bothered me, and one was probably the best sailor I ever served with. He was sailor of the quarter and I think sailor of the year once. However, when he came out, he was discharged despite all his years of outstanding service.
