It has went to a vote in many states and overwhelmingly people have made their feelings clear.

Like I said, that's why we have a constitution and the bill of rights...to protect the minority from the majority.

I have no idea what you're talking about as civil cases vs. criminal. I never mentioned any of that except to state that the CA ruling is a case of what the government is required to do. It didn't say anything about what any religious entity is required to do. If you're referring to YOU'RE mention of polygamists, etc., I don't care how many women the old perverts "marry" so long as they don't break criminal laws regarding children. And if you check it out, even they don't claim to be "married" in the legal, civil sense. The women collect welfare as single mothers because the law prohibits having more than one wife. And for good reason, if you think about it a minute.

Oh, BTW. It's It has goneto a vote in many states and overwhelmingly people have made their feelings clear.
