California Judge Upholds Gay Marriage

This is a giant leap in the right direction.

Oh yeah, sure, reinforce the union of church and state that our fore-fathers made seperate.

I'm all for the benefits allowed to same-sex couples that would be granted through marriage, but the marriage process is a religious ceremony. We should have instead removed marriage from the legal documents and replaced it with 'federally binding union' or something, not make a law to change a religion.

So which religion has dibs on marriage?

not make a law to change a religion.

And on a related note, which religion are we changing, precisely?

Beat me to it by a matter of moments.

I would've agreed completely with him til you brought up those points.

(On a side note, I support all gay rights except the right to adopt on which I have no opinion.)

Looking as far back as I know, it comes from greek/egyptian times, while also the Hebrews claim they were slaves. All three of those beliefs use marriage (though greek didn't exactly treat it like anything), so we can assume that all of them have dibs on marriage and it would be foolish, pointless, and stupid to say otherwise.
