    And they are wrong because this is America, not a Christian theocracy.

    I’m not a Christian. I’m Jewish and an atheist. My wife is also an atheist. We’re married. By your excuse for Republicans, we aren’t.

      I don’t see how that makes sense, unless you’re also a woman. And even then, I really like ben shapiro’s approach of ‘it’s not the governments business to decide who gets to marry who’.

        Because we did not get married based on any Christian tradition.

        Neither does anyone else.

        Marriage is a civil ceremony and America is a secular nation.

        Because they see ‘marriage’ as a christian description of matrimony between man and woman

        I guess it depends on if it’s described as christian matrimony between man and woman
