I think it's detestable to differentiate between gay marriage and straight marriage in a society where there is, or at least is said to be, a separate of church and state affairs. I think what our government should do is abolish "marriage" licenses all together in favor of a uniform and unilaterally applicable "union" licenses that do not imply marriage. If Christians wish to be "married" they can take that up with their own church, as they continually contend that "marriage" has religious implications.
