I don't get how the denial of gay-marriage on the grounds of religion is even being talked about.
My athiest self, and my athiest girlfriend can go down to athiest city hall and have an athiest city official pronounce us man and wife in an athiest fashion. Legal marriage is entirely secular. It has nothing to do with the chuch AT ALL. It just turns out that a lot of people happen to have it done in churches by religious figures. Well then, THEY can keep on not doing same-sex unions, but why should they have any say on an entirely secular law? I seriously cannot understand how this whole thing has gone this far.
edit: (sorry if this isn't entirely on-topic. I just get frustrated over this whole thing. And the claim that same-sex marriage will lead to polygamy would be laughable if it weren't so sad.)
