Exactly.
Marriage, legally, is a social and economic, not religious, institution. 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 a gay couple who loves each other should be able to marry, as well. There should be no differentiation between the two when it comes to the laws of this country.

Why is it that people always refer back to good ol' "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" when defending their own stances. Just because I disagree with you (you, in the general sense, not anyone in particular) on an issue does not mean that I do not stand for something or that I don't have my own moral, ethical, and religious beliefs. All it means is that we disagree.
