For the life of me, I cant understand why anyone who isnt gay would object to gay people getting married. I cant tell how it effects them or what right they have to decide anything about it. There isnt even a religious argument, because this isnt about religious ceremony, its about legal recognition of people's right to choose another sane and consenting adult as a life partner and for this to be treated with legal dignity.
I wouldnt oppose any church applying any arbitrary restrictions it chooses - thats a moral question.
Denying one group of people something that is considered a basic human right on the basis of their sexual inclination is a legal question, and I cannot imagine how it is legal under the US constitution.
In my opinion the rule of law must be enforced on California and any other rebel state which wishes to act unilaterally in this manner.
