you dont have to go to a church to get married. In fact the legally binding marriage document is done at a town hall not at a church. So the state does define what marriage is not the church. So when you bring in religious beleifs on what marriage is, you are clouding the line. If you are upset over the word "marriage" instead of "civil union" well then that I cant even wrap my head around.

so then by that defenition if some rainbow church of christ wants to say that two same sex persons = a marriage than you are fine with it.

You talk about it being a sacred act between a man and a woman. Why dont you go protest in Vegas then where people can get married at a drive through chapel. Or get something done about the super rediculous divorce rate going on in this country. But hey if LT and his boyfriend who are deeply in love and commmited to each other, why give them the same rights as any other married couple.

again Reno I am not starting shit with you just cause it is you, I dont want you to think that. Gay marriage is a big issue for me as I have some gay friends that this directly effects.
