We are talking about the government and the law.
It's already legal for gay people to get married in front of God, God has nothing to do with it, God has always blessed and confirmed gay marriages, we are only talking about the government and recognition by the government.

Religion in general is based on bigotry and downright wicked nonsense. If I was gay I wouldn't choose to be part of a group that wouldn't accept me based on a small part of who I am.
