I don’t support homosexuals in the military. I support competent people in the military.

I think we know that you do not want to ban homosexuals from the military, and you do not want to refuse their recognition of gay marriage as long as they recognize normal marriage.

Your calls for only religions, all and any religions, to be able to make marriage law and the American people be subject to them is more silliness.

That should be fun when the military is trying to decide who or what the legal widow is, or wife in the case of living on base and in foreign assignments.

I call for religions to have exclusive control of their sacraments, and for the government to have exclusive control over the legal obligations they enforce, and tax law.

In algebra we used to call it orthagonality.

Marry a thousand women and three vacuum cleaners using the combines rites of the Scottish Masons, the Druze, and the Parsees, and the government doesn’t care.

Claim a civil union, and the government sets the terms for it, and enforces it only if it meets the government terms. No religious nut from the Pope to an Iman has any more input to what it means than any other citizen (or similar non-citizen).
