Subject: RE: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
If anyone's worried about the sanctity of marriage, why not worry about divorce? Marriage today is an either/both mess of religious ceremony and state recognition. Makes more sense to split religious ceremonies--which should be up to the particular religious organization concerned-- and civil ceremonies--which should be available to any couple who wants one.
As I recall, the only Federal marriage law concerns plural marriages, and affects (primarily) Mormons.
