Pete, how many times must you be told that marriage is a social/legal contract that has nothing to do with your religion? In the U.S. it is a right that has been restored to fulfill the full meaning of the Constitution in that the legal protection of marriage has now been extended to all. Period.

Those who oppose it for all of the flawed reasons I've read from you and others here are responsible for the choices they make. They can follow the law, or they can oppose it and be sued or fired. If they choose to quit, that is their decision. You can plead religion or AIDS or STDs or any such nonsense all day long, but those have NOTHING to do with this legal interpretation of the right to marry. Your arguments are the window dressing to conceal a small, closed mind that apparently thinks only a portion of the population should be able to marry their loved ones. This is not an invitation to debate the topic.
