Gay Marriage

Attempts have been made to scientifically articulate sexual preference and physical sexual traits (Masters and Johnson). It is clear that there are degrees of sexual preference and physical traits. The only remaining scientific debate is measuring the subdivisions of the scale in between.

All the symbols, language and rituals involved in marriage are purely subjective exercises. Meaning is in people, not in things. Religion is nothing but a tool that dictates and reinforces subjective useless meanings on people. Marriage is a meaning with no independent physical attributes.

Marriage

Marriage is a religious institution. Therefore any regulation, privilege or penalty mandated by any branch of the U.S. Government regarding marriage is a violation of the First Amendment.

Any private industry that bestows privileges or penalties on a person because of marital status should be required by law to disclose such treatment to their customers.

Since marriage is a religious institution, any government mandating treatment of its citizens differently because of marital status can only be referred to as a theocracy and not a democracy.
