Marriage is not a religious ceremony. Marriages are performed all the time in the United States right now without any religious body being involved (how do you
think atheists get married, for one?). The government will not ever mandate that any church has to marry same-sex couples. Some churches ALREADY WILL marry
same-sex couples.
As for Prop 8, I have slightly mixed feelings, because the No (pro-SS-marriage) side did a horrible campaign that was painful to be associated with. That being
said, regardless of how bad the campaign is, I find it hard to have anything but the greatest contempt for any bigot who opposes it. That being said...
This is a fairly thoughtful article on the subject.
