It perhaps ought to be explained to this idiot that making gay marriage legal will not force the Presbyterians, the Catholics, the Lubavitchers, or the My Left Ballatarians to accept gay marriage.
The First Amendment right to free exercise of religion should not be infringed as a result of the decision of any branch of the secular state to change the secular definition of marriage. The gay-marriage movement has a bumper sticker that shows, simply, an “equals” sign. If churches are forced to participate in activities that violate the conscience of their faith, we will need to raise up that same “equals” sign in their defense. Their right to dissent is fundamental to our system.
Gay marriage will merely make homosexuals who choose to avail themselves of a civil right available to heterosexuals equal before the civil law. Nice, polite Presbyterians will still be permitted to believe that said homosexuals are going to roast eternally for their shameful behavior, if these nice, polite Presbyterians so choose to believe. Church. State. Separated.
Huzzah for our system.
