Marraige is unconstitutional. |

Marriage has been, as far back as recorded history can take us, a religious function. The only reason it is in our civil code at all is because we imported it from British Law, which, as you know, didn't have a clear division of church and state at the time.
Who is our government to tell me if I am MARRIED, gay or straight. Same sex, three partners, what ever.
The only union a civil authority can grant is a civil union. Government sanctioned marriage is as unconstitutional as government sanctioned baptism.
Adding more groups to an already unconstitutional construct is not the answer. Why have WE of all people, missed the boat on this one?

1. You obviously believe logic has some bearing on this topic |

the shrub will inform you that it's God's word spoken to him late at night in a fevered frenzy of cocaine and booze and reading the Bible. To Hell a luya.
