>>The decision says that the state will recognize gay marriage. Individual religions and churches are under no obligation to. This is as it should be... separation of Church and State.<<

My point was more towards who was funding the anti legal drive and also to the separation. If you look at the end of the opinion, the list of attorneys goes on forever on both sides. It's amazing how many churches and religious prganizations found the resources to hire lawyers to beat this.
Which leads to my other point. Here, religion informs the views of the vast majority of people who are against same sex marriage. These two things are what I meant by backbone.

The Americans with Disabilities act, say, didn't really affect me directly, but I'm glad it passed. |

But I also love and honor the institution of marriage and family. I would prefer that the word Marriage continues to mean Man and Wife.

Coloreds that sat at the back of the bus still got there, and the water at colored only fountains still was wet and generally tasted the same too. And what that has to do with honor and freedom escapes me.
"I would prefer that the word Marriage continues to mean Man and Wife."
And your upcoming nuptials will. Larry and Joey's won't, but that doesn't affect yours in any way, shape or form.
