I do not believe this is a policital concern but a civil right. Are we stepping back to when people believed being black or white gave you different status?

Well said!
True as that may be, a decision is going to be made, and my question is - who should make it?
I agree Torziah, I was just stating my point and seeing who agreed.
* "If one group get to marry then all groups get to marry."
* "If one group can't marry then no group should be able to be married."
One ot the other should be enforced. Every_one_ is created equally. This is a concept easily derived from the Declaration of Indepenance and the intentions of our founding fathers.
Seconly, marriage is, itself, a religious institution. By limiting who gets to marry whom, we contradic both the concept of the separation of religion in govenment and the constituional right for the fredom of religion expression.
This is a U.S Bill of Rights issue. The considerations of a person's rights trump the rights of the state.
YAAAAA!!!!!
Thank you Philip098123
But didn't the Civil Rights movement demonstrate that civil rights are political concerns? Whenever civil rights are infringed upon, as in this instance, it becomes a political issue.
That is true Earthseed. If someone is oppressing others than it is political. Not allowing gays & lesbians to marry is political.
there's actually a difference between a legal marriage and a religious marriage. the problem is that both institutions call their process "marriage." perhaps a better distinction should be made between the two states.
