I am conservative, but i oppose state governed marriage altogether. what i don't get is how liberal people can argue that a plaque with the 10 commandments in a courthouse is unconstitutional, but state sanctioned marriage, whether it be hetero or homosexual is constitutional? marriage is by definition a religious union between a man and a woman, so what happened to the seperation of church and state? this can't be a new idea, i just don't see how state sanctioned marriage of any kind is constitutional.
