I want to point out that in no State are gays prohibited from getting married. In fact, gays can marry each other. However, they just can't marry someone of the same sex. There is no prohibition against gay marriage - just same sex marriage.

There is no prohibition against gay marriage - just same sex marriage. Excellent point. We should bring it up whenever the issue is raised.

More importantly -
there is no prohibition against same sex marriages. If some gay men want to "get married" they can do so with different men every other day. No governmental agency will step in to stop them.
What there isn't, and what they want there to be, is an obligation on every governmental organization and every private company to recognize their little phoney compact as a union every bit as valid as a marriage between a man and a woman.
If it were possible, the Times should actually be embarrassed to compare the non-obligation of free people to recognize homo marriage to the actual ownership of one human being by another. It's a pathetic and demeaning comparison.

Churches hold gay marriages all the time. They just aren't recognized by the state.
