For some people it's awesome. For others, either they went in without enough commitment and willpower, or marriage just isn't for them. And that's ok.

This makes me wonder...why haven't divorce lawyers been lobbying the government in favor of same sex marriage? Think of all the money they could make!

Are you against legalization, or do you feel that legalization is fine as long as your church does not perform them?

This is the right decision. The 14th amendment does say that states have to give all their citizens equal protection under the law. The fact it was written by 19th century prudes who are probably rolling over in their graves at the idea of gay marriage does not matter. They still wrote that states had to give equality to everyone.

Yes.

If you are against legalization, then you should realize that the government has a separation of the church and state.

It's immoral. God speaks against it. These people are warping the Natural norm. It denies children a proper father or mother.
