And next thing you know, people will want to marry inanimate objects! The horror!
The only problem I see with it is that, as I understand it, at least in the Christian faith, two men or two women can't be technically married "under the eyes of God." So I can see how the religious thing gets into it. I imagine the State doesn't see you as married if the Church can't technically tie the knot. You can have a ceremony and say you're married, but it seems that the State can't grant the accomanying legal rights and institute the legal limitations: adultery, estrangement, spousal abuse, irreconcilable differences, etc. If one or more of those infractions occurs, can the laws be enforced?
Do I have a problem with gay marriage? Nope.
