Do you condone homosexual marriage? Why do we even have to
discuss doing it at the courthouse/ city hall? There are over 1,000 religions in America, can't they find a church that will marry them & leave the state out of it? Marriage is the only ceremony the church & state have in common, I presume b/c a church is private property & can refuse to marry anyone it wants. Worst case, this should be left up to the voters of every state, not the legislature, too much room for error. Let the voters by majority decide if they want to allow that and have a sunset provision. Making a mountain out of a molehill. They are not forbidden from getting married in a church, they just need to find a church that will marry them! Why insist upon an unpopular thing & doing it in city hall? If your state doesn't ban religion, it shouldn't ban homosexual marriage by a clergy. If you can't have the ceremony in a church, have it at home.
By the way, a cheap divorce is $10,000. There are couples that get along better after living together, having children & breaking up than get married & have a divorce destroy their relationship, after doing what the church approved of them doing.
By the way, there is no sacrament in the Catholic Church for single-hood.

You and Mell_o_drama play the same game. You invariably bump the divisive and wingnut threads. Every time. Without fail. You know quite well that "Do not feed the troll" means please don't bump But you bumped.

What kind of marriage are we talking about?
I believe marriage is between a man, a woman and God as members of His Church. I don't believe it is necessary to register this marriage with the state nor some institutional church. It is between a man, a woman and God, no one else.
By doing so the man and woman fall under the jurisdiction of God, certainly not the state and certainly not a church.
Now if a couple of homosexuals want to get married, then free to do so, if the state accepts the marriage then they will fall under the jurisdiction of the state, or if an institutional church accepts then they will fall under the jurisdiction of that church, perhaps they may even find some god that will accept their marriage and fall under that god's jurisdiction.

We don't know how to mind our own business

Now we are fighting a war over there

We can't pay the cost

Change the taxation laws and forget about this issue
The whole question is equal taxation to couples. For government purposes, yes, for church purposes, that is up to them. For our purposes, none of our business. Stay out of the bedroom.
I think you're right on
The question is whether the State acts in a discriminatory manner in denying homosexuals what is common place for straight Americans: marriage.
I think that the State is within its rights in regulating the marriage process, and required to extend these rights to gay Americans wishing to participate in them. To turn it over to the people or to the Churches is a tricky way to continue to discriminate against them. "Let the churches marry them if they want to!" is followed by a quick text message to the pastor: "Don't you dare!" And encumbering states with the decision is essentially prolonging federal court cases that will deal with one state recognizing that marriage certificate or not. Just because it's from the Federal Gov't doesn't make it evil. We should offer two types of licenses: couples who have children but are not and do not want to be married should receive the same child tax benefits as other couples; marriage for everyone else including gays. Recognized by Federal law.
And to those who are offended by gay marriage: work on your own marriage first.
