No, not that abomination that is DOMA, or any state Constitutional amendment attempting to enforce religious views on the law.
My niece (by marriage) Beth got married last night, and it struck me as quite wonderful that the pastor engaged the audience to be a part of their lives by virtue of being witness to their marriage. It would seem to me that one of the most important things that marriage does, other than allowing those who love one another to be a part of each others lives as spouses, is that you bring other people into that equation as parts of their married life.
It would seem to me that opponents of marriage, which is really what opponents to gay marriage are in a very confusing way, are so quick to deny others the ability to engage their families and friends in that most cherished of ways, a marriage, which is one of the injustices that they seek to inflict on other humans.
Either you are for marriage or you are against it; there is no "separate but equal".
