Just because you "marry" your girlfriend in a church shouldn't make your relationship more important - in ANY way - than Carrie becoming "united" with her girlfriend at the courthouse.
That's not to say that someone shouldn't be allowed to have their ceremony in a church. But it's pigheaded for the church wedding people to act like their lives are the only ones that matter.
If you aren't gay and you don't want to get married to someone of the same sex, you have NO RIGHT to say that someone else shouldn't. Just don't do it! Woo! Freedom of religion is also freedom to not have a religion, and this "abomination in the eyes of God" doesn't mean **** to a lot of people, so it should have NO EFFECT, because the non-believers are still bound to all the same laws. Plus, what's up with discriminating against people because of who they LOVE anyway? Some argue that it will ruin our society. I say they are ruining our society.
