But at a minimum, I think it should be a state's decision.
Exactly! And keep it the hell out of Social Security.

When Same-Sex Marriage Was a Christian Rite
​
Taz, your article brings up the question of why the federal government should be in the business of marriage. Such a religious conflation of federal jurisdiction flies squarely in the face of the First Amendment:
​
quote:
Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press, or the right of the people too peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As such, gay marriage might be sanctionable by a state, but not by the federal government. So why does it even matter if same-sex marriage was ever a Christian rite?

Troll?
CS asks Ludo:
​
Do you still think Rrhain isn't a troll?
Butting in here, I'd say he is not a troll, but instead a boring bumper sticker for gay marriage.
