Quote:The problem is, the opposition to gay marriage is based in religion.  If you take religion out of the discussion, there's no argument against gay marriage. 

 

Understood but we can't discuss religion here, so it's just a cheap shot when people want to church bash if the believers of a religion can't defend themselves. I'm just saying lets stick to the topic at hand, the legal standing of same sex marriage. If we go off into the moral end of the question where all going to end up getting the thread closed. 

 

From a legal stand, their is no justification for government to prohibit consenting adults entering a union. I believe that also extends into polygamy and prostitution. Regardless of how I or someone else might view those issues on a moral level, there's no authority for government to regulate private unions and agreements between consenting adults regarding sexual or religious practices.
