Equal Rights

America is not a theocracy, so something should not be law just because the bible says so. If you don't feel that a gay marriage is right under God, that doesn't matter. The issue here is not if your God approves, it's whether the government should DISAPPROVE. In which case, it should NOT. If you don't believe in gay marriage, then don't get gay-married. The couples that wish to get married do not care if you approve and do not want your permission. They just want equal rights that are to be granted to all Americans.
Did you know that the marriage license was originally instituted in the US to stop whites from interracial marriages? This world is a different place than it was then, and the laws must change as well. Anyone that can hold so tightly onto laws this outdated, makes me wonder what other outdated ideals and morals you have.
Remember Prohibition, where they succeeded in banning alcohol for 13 years, only to be later repealed. The Jim Crow Laws which allowed segregation. The fight for civil rights and women's rights were to allow for EQUALITY, which is what the gay rights issue is all about. EQUALITY. So would you hold fast to every law that ever was, exactly the way it was? Then don't stop the progress for the ones that still need change.
