I agree with the both of you-to me, marriage is a sacrament, and a member of the clergy performs the ceremony-the courthouse thing is a civil contract, like a business partnership, etc-it is not a marriage. Government has no business in the marriage business-they screwed it up just like they do everything else.
If homosexuals want to call it that, then let each state decide if it wants to sell them that piece of paper, but stop calling it a “marriage license”-no state needs to be selling permission for something that belongs to God. I don’t see atheists getting married by a priest/minister/rabbi-do we want them to be next to sue for that right?

Yikes! Don’t give them any ideas!
