ban gay marriage now

The answer isn't to legalize gay marriage, the anwer is to stop performing legal gay and straight marriages completely, in favor of civil unions for all. The church doesn't recognize state-issued divorce; you need an 'annulment.' Annulment is to marriage as divorce is to civil union. Also, doesn't having the state recognize a contract defined by a religion violate the establishment clause? Why recognize state issued 'marriages?' My heterosexual marriage took place in a hotel by a justice of the peace; I have a civil union. If your chuch won't marry you because you've got the wrong race, religion, or reproductive organs that's between you, your church, and your god. Pray to him, have a sacrifice, nail a letter to the door of the church, but don't involve my government. I don't want the state 'defending the sanctity' of anything. Sanctifying, defending sanctity, and sanctimoniousness in general is for clergy and mullahs.

This is how the founding fathers would want it. google 'founding fathers and religion.' for yourself.
