I think the majority just take the state’s current version as the definition of marriage. And more fall in line as the decades pass and the state keeps whatever application of marriage was controversial. Otherwise why did all the religious groups that accepted ‘gay marriage’ wait until the state they happened to be in also accepted it before they married their gay members? And look at how many say things like ‘the state accepting gay marriage will destroy marriage?’

CATHOLIC groups haven't accepted "gay marriage" and neither have some of the Protestant denominations. The Catholic Church CANNOT accept homosexual unions as "marriage." It CANNOT.
Islam forbids "gay marriage." You would THINK that we Christians could do as well as or better than Islam.

I wonder WHICH Protestant denominations accept homosexual marriages. I haven't a CLUE. Do YOU have any idea? I know that there isn't any ONE voice of any Protestant denomination except the Bishop of Canterbury...and I'm not so sure of his opinion.
