I live in Vermont where we have gay marriages(and divorces). I'm fine with civil unions for gays, but not marriage
Recently, I inquired at my local Episcopal church, wether my girlfriend and I could get married in the eyes of God, but not in the view of the U.S. government. The answer was yes, we could have the religious ceremony, but not file papers with the "authorities". My point is they can be seen as two separate things, and though I'm fine with homosexuality, I don't think they should be married. I believe marriage is a religious-cultural construct that exists in order to keep the family unit together.
