Separation of Church and State.

The government should get out of the marriage business.

Let the government do civil unions

Let the Religions have their own marriages.



Which would then mean that only civil unions could be considered for any legal matter. Which I'm good with.



Exactly.

No that is dumb. Religions do not have ownership of the the word "marriage" and related terminology.

Correct.

States are free to call it whatever they want.

Which doesn't change the fact that churches are free to fail to marry anyone they want.

I still find it incredible to believe that anyone today can fail to see gay marriage as a civil rights issue.

How about Gay only bathrooms? You would want a gay looking at your junk while you are at a urinal would you?

Maybe we should have gay only schools and make them sit at the back of the bus. And who gave them the right to vote anyway!

We are either all fkin equal or we are not. I know which model the *cough*greatest-country-ever*cough* currently follows.

"We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, except you, and you, and you, and you."

Consistency would call for the government to not be in the marriage business or the medical business...

Not to mention you being a pompous pile of ill wind. You're like a beer fart. Ever looming, never welcome.

Or in other words you are all flummoxed and angered that someone should point out a glaring inconsistency, so you decided to have a mini tantrum.
