//Which means they are married and fully legal//
Not if we put marriage back in the churches alone where it belongs. They can already enter into contracts that give the legal benefits of marriage, they just want to call it ‘marriage’ and the next step is to force churches to perform them even against their beliefs. Take away their power and give it back to the faithful.
This is America, people don’t have to join a Mosque or FLDS, or a gay church, or a Lutheran church to marry if they don’t want to, they don’t even have to believe in God to marry.
And they really don’t have to stay in that religion forever, and depend on it to decide on their divorce and property rights and child custody.
Zactly...
