Sacred ritual? Sacred ritual? Sounds kinda pagan to me. I don't see the government stepping up to protect any of
my sacred rituals.

Correct, my insightful friend. Who the hell am I, or any one of you, for that matter, to prevent two people, that truly love one another, from bonding in marriage. Does it affect my life in the least? No, it does not. It does not because I do not feel threatened by it.
For crying out loud, it hasn't been all that long ago that interacial marriages were looked upon as some sort of unholy abhoration. I'm talking not long ago as in within my memory. I'm "only" 41 folks. Most of you here are a heck of a lot younger than I am, that's no secret. But if someone of my "advanced years" can keep an open mind about this, then can't some of you at least try?
