It's time to seperate the 'religious' and 'civil' component of marriage.. now wait, here me out... [View all]

The issue is the religious reich's fighting gay marriage, they're the ones stopping it from being recognized/performed in many states.

You have to have a 'license' to get 'married' ISSUED BY THE STATE.

The 'license' is a civil contract.

You do NOT have to have a 'religious' ceremony.

The Constitution says clearly that contracts must be recognized by the states, no matter what state it is entered into.

You get a 'license', I don't care what state it is in, you have the CIVIL ceremony (or religious), the contract is signed.

States that do not want to grow up and allow the 'CIVIL CONTRACT' to be entered into in their state, fine and dandy, but THEY MUST RECOGNIZE IT FROM OTHER STATES.

end of issue.
