They clearly don’t understand the institution of marriage.
Did they cross church and state?
Is not marriage an institution of the religious? Sanctified by vows before God?
What they want is same recognition this is a state matter.
Give them what they need as a couple under civil unions.
Sorry even if the Gov. Declares state marriages....HE IS OUTVOTED....GOD IS THE DECLARIE OF WHO IS MARRIED NOT DEVAL PATRICK. CLUELESS MAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT MARRIAGE IS A SYMBOL HELD HIGHLY BY THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH AS THE
MARRIAGE OF CHRIST COMING FOR HIS CHURCH BLAMELESS AND SPOTTLESS. IT MEANS MORE THAN YOU THINK DEVAL CLUELESS PATRICK. MARRIAGE IS SYMBOLIC FOR A PURE BRIDE OF CHRIST.
IT WILL NEVER BE BETWEEN TWO MEN OR TWO WOMEN. WHY BECAUSE YOU NEED THE UNION OF THE TWO BRING LIFE. ONLY A MAN AND WOMAN CAN DO THIS. AND IT IS ALSO THE SYMBOL OF THE CHURCH
YOU MORON CLUELESS DEVAL PATRICK!!!!!!!!!!
SANTICTIFIED BY GOD FOR THE MARRIAGE OF CHRIST TO HIS BRIDE, WHICH IS THE CHURCH!!!!!!!!

MARRIAGE IS A SYMBOLIC PICTURE OF CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH.

This is a state matter
Originally, marriage was an institution of the Church. But they abdicated their responsibilities, handing them over to the state.
Who approves, performed, authorizes and certifies marriages? It isn't any church, except as far as the state allows them to.
States issue marriage licenses, and states perform the ceremonies. A marriage does not have to be performed by clergy to be legal, but it does have to be performed by someone authorized by the state. So long as the state is in charge of marriages, it can define them any way it pleases.
Personally, I think it's time to remove this from the province of the state - one more area of our lives that the government rightly ought stay out of.
The MA Legislature just violated the 1st Amendment by usurping the religious institution of marriage from the church.
I agree.
They can even create their own institution, call it pairriage if they like
but leave our institution alone.

Marriage belongs to the straight world and gays should not change it (by a gay person)
