his point, i think, is that if a sect of a religion started marrying gays, and the law refused to recognise it, wouldn't that be inhibiting the free practice of that religion?

edit: and by the way, why is having 2 men marry hijacking the word marriage? language shifts meaning constantly, I don't see why this added flavor to the word shouldn't be appropriate. It takes nothing away, and harms no one. When i think "marriage" I don't think "MAN AND WOMAN!" i think "oh, a committment between people to love, care for, and support each other for life", with a sexual connotation in there somewhere.
