Stripped of all the politics it comes down to five points to consider.


1. The Governments and laws of the United States of America are by demand of the people blind to the race, sex, or age of a citizen or group of citizens hereafter called the people.

2. By demand of the people all of the Governments of the United States of America maintain a separation of church and state. therefore the all encompassing term Marriage, needs to be separated into its two components. For clarity the term Marriage will be used to define the religious aspect of marriage and Civil Union to define the governments.

3. The religious institution of Marriage. Each religion is free to define Marriage and its eligibility as it sees fit. The peoples demand for separation of church and state prohibits the government from regulating church practices.

4. The governments institution of Civil Union must by the peoples demands for a racial and gender blind government constitute a union between two citizens. Defining a person first as a citizen for regulatory purposes requires that the aspects of race and gender be ignored as all citizens are equal entities under the law. Requiring that members of a civil union be of any particular gender violates the peoples demand that the governments of the United States of America be blind to gender in law.

5. A States Constitution must not be amended in any fashion that restricts the rights of a citizen based upon their Age, Race, or Gender. To do so violates the demand of the people to equal treatment under the law.

My opinion is mine, if you are going to flame me for it please be intelligent and literate. Or at least turn up the heat. I have marshmallows waiting.
