Hogwash. There is no moral equivalence.

[TexasFreeper2009]

The point I was trying to make is that two entirely different things happen when a heterosexual christian couple are joined together in the religious rite of holy matrimony.

1. The unalterable religious historical truth you are referring to called holy matrimony.

2. Then later they sign a contract to form a civil union recognized by the state. This civil union is called a marriage license.

I would argue that government has no right at ANY level, local, state, or federal to interfere with #1.

And that #2 should be left up to the states.
