They deserve to be equal yes, but you say that separation of state and church is a key here, (even though the state was created from the Church *Cough* *Cough*) but in reality it comes down to morale, nature and survival of the fittest. What species is created to never have kids? NONE!!! Thats what gay relationships are. Fruitless acts, I have a gay uncle and have no ill feeling to him or any other gay person and I do agree there should be some legal binding, it should NOT be marriage. Back to survival of the fittest, we didnt make it to the top of the food chain by having gay fruitless relationships. And may I ask, If gay marriage is passed is it right to force a preacher marry them? Some states are offering jail time for that, doesnt that infringe on my rights? Gay Marriage should no be passed but instead a legal agreement in which they are bound but not by an official marriage. My other point is the separation of power, the constitution states that marriage is a reserved power to the state, and by giving the Federal government the power to decide this you are breaking the 10th amendment. Thanks for hearing me out. feel free to respond to me ill try to respond back. @holly312456879 @brendaaa
