Well, no. Same Sex couples cannot do that. Without the ability to do that, same sex couples are ineligible for the legal rights automatically accorded hetero couples regarless of whether the hetero couple is married in a religious ceremony.
Moreover, same sex couples cannot contract into many of the rights automatically given to hetero couples.
Can't you see that is unfair and, more to the point, it is promoting religion as law, i.e., the establishment of a theocracy. That is just fukced up.

I think the "path of wrong choices" is cramming reilgious ideals down the throats of all Americans. There is no law that says you have to have any religious faith to be entitled to the protection of the law or even a good American citizen. We all pay the same taxes - so why shouldn't we all get the same legal protections? Again, that is just fukced up.
I do not think you would like it if the govt. made you do cr*p based on someone else's ideals or beliefs that you did not believe in
Yet, most cannot see that from any angle other than their own and most are in the power in charge.

No - freedom in America means be a Christian or be a second class citizen and take and be happy with the scraps of liberty the Christians offer you
That's just fukced up
The black community got over this same prejudice by rioting in the streets, save for MLK, who encouraged peaceful protest
In the end, I have yet to hear of one non religious reason why hetero married people should get special rights.
