Again this brings me back to my rant and rave on why this is even an issue? I don't see how any religious institution could be compelled to perform same-sex marriages when they aren't even compelled to perform heterosexual marriages. Can some one please tell me why this is a big issue. Or is it because the religious leaders are talking out of their asses?
I apologize for my rant, but this should never have been an issue. We really should be discussing whether or not the current definition of marriage is unconstitutional. The one thing the Supreme Court refused to address.
