Here are some thoughts on the whole issue- both the &quot;same sex&quot; and 2A issues... &quot;civil union, or matrimonial contract, as recognized by the state, whereas &quot;marriage&quot; is a religious term. So technically, yes, I&#39;m against someone stepping in and forcing those who&#39;s beliefs are contrary to accepting a definition that they do not agree with. I&#39;m all for same sex couples&#39; union being recognized by the state and given the same legal protection and rights.

So I have a question about this part. I have heard the marriage is a religious definition argument as a reason not to allow gay marriage. However, there is a multitude of religions out there, so saying that MY religion defines marriage as a hetero union subjugates all other religions and their beliefs. I am guessing there is probably at least one religion that gives the nod (pun intended) to gay marriage, so does that mean the religious definition argument is null and void? The sudden appearance of all the pink equal signs bugs me, because I am not sure why all these people care SO much about it. As I have stated before, I could not give two shits about gay marriage, but I am always up for a discussion.</p>
