God bless you all
EDIT:
Sorry tr1age, me anger added more than needed after some well placed words.
Hey man the government is just happy you are all happy.....and paid no attention to their Trans Pacific Partnership. Pretty sure that's kind of the idea. Continue on sheeple...continue on....

Legal marriages should be performed by state authorities. If people then want to go to a church and have a religious ceremony and be sanctioned by a religious body, then they can do that. The religious ceremony would have no force of law and the legal ceremony would have no religious ties or implied religious sanction.
This is how it should be done.
Hooray! I knew we could agree on something.
Christians can't expect everyone else to uphold moral values because they have no stake in those values.
Stephen Fry said:"I don't think we should ever allow religion the trick of maintaining that the spiritual and the beautiful and the noble and the altruistic and the morally strong and the virtuous are in any way inventions of religion or particular or peculiar to religion."
If state governments were more than collective groups of do-nothing hypocrites I'd agree with Kel, but alas, fuck them, with an extra special emphasis on my own state's governing body.
Kel, I agreed with you! Except for this part:
Christianity, nor any religion for that matter, can claim 'morality' from the rest of us. You don't own it. No religion owns morality. Morality has existed long before any record of religion.
Everyone has a stake in morality, because we live in the world where other people live.

Granted. Christians don't have a monopoly on the concept of morality. However, there are some behaviors, such as premarital sex or using God's name for cursing that many would not find immoral. I think I was making a similar point as you- Christians can't expect everyone else to adhere to the exact same moral code as them. I can't hold them accountable to a Biblical standard. I could, however, hold them accountable to a standard that we both agreed on, such as the rule of law.
An extremely good point, with so many religions out there, who is to say one is right over the others? It is your beliefs at the end of the day and that's really it.
A gif of how America achieved full marriage equality starting from 1995. Granted, no idea who already saw this but still interesting.
