Ok, there is something I don’t understand. Is there not a law that says that government and religion are to stay separate? I’m not asking sarcastically, or to make any point. I believe there is, but I honestly don’t know for sure. Assuming there is, how can bush say that we have to protect the sanctity of marriage? Isn’t that a reference to the Bible’s definition of marriage? If there isn’t a law saying that church and state are to be separate….A.) there should be, and B.) If we are trying to protect the sanctity of marriage, why don’t we shut down these places in Las Vegas where drunken vacationers go to get married by an Elvis impersonator, only to get divorced the next week? I mean, is that what we are protecting? And also, I know that the first amendment gives us all equal rights. How is limiting gay and lesbian’s to civil unions and commitment ceremonies equal, or fair. Is it not just like when we had segregated schools? That wasn’t fair, or equal. So, isn’t it kinda unconstitutional to tell homosexuals “You cant get married, but you can have the next best thing, because marriage is reserved for the heterosexual society“? I want to know peoples options on this regardless if you are for or against gay marriage. I only ask that your respectful, because I’m not looking to make anyone mad, or have anyone go off on a tangent. I’ve tried to word this so it wont offend anyone, and if it dose, I apologize. I’m just curious.
