Exactly.

Marriage, legally, is a social and economic, not religious, institution for everyone. If we are going to start deciding who can and cannot be married based on religious reasons, there would a whole lot more single people in this country. If two drunken gamblers can legally marry in Las Vegas, only to divorce one week later, then why can't a gay couple who love each other. There should be no differentiation between the two when it comes to the laws of this country.

I never stated that we should decide who can and can not get married nor did I state that where you get married should be a factor.

I'm saying that we should get rid of of marriage and its meaning as it related to grouping, special priviledges, etc. (as it relates to the grouping of people in terms of married vs single). Even if we got rid of the classification, if would not affect WHERE people get "married".
