Gay marriage should not be a religious issue. It’s a basic civil right guaranteed by the Constitution. If you want a priest, rabbi or imam to marry you, good luck, but they shouldn’t be forced to do anything they don’t believe in. The civil authorities who perform marriages ought to be allowed to marry same-sex couples. The religious furor over this simple proposal is overblown, misguided and just plain stupid. The religious bigots who think gay marriage would destroy marriage and/or the family should save their wrath for something that really matters.
