I guess I just don't see the point.. who gives a fuck who marries who? and it's not only a religious thing either.. civil celebrants marry the non-religious every day.

I have already stated this in a previous post.

I am ambivalent about the subject of gays being married. I really don't care one way or the other, but it will be up to the Supreme Court and their interpretation of the constitution.

We only have rights under the law and the laws in this country are required to adhere to the Constitution. Until laws are passed covering a specific subject, either yea or nay, we do not have a right.
Heterosexuals currently have the right, under the law, to marry the opposite sex, homosexuals do not have the right to marry someone of the same sex. Homosexuals are asking that a new law (a new right) be made. I don't know if the matter has gone before the Supreme Court or not, but if it has the Court ruled it not to be Constitutional, or ruled that it falls under the realm of States Rights to adjudicate the matter.
