I do not think that the Goverment should have anything to do with "marriage", marriage is a "relgious" term and should only be recognized by a church or other religous institution.

A marriage is a legal doctrine recognized by the state and federal government. The legal impact, which is at issue with recognizing gay marriages, is what is at issue. Whether or not the church will recognize a gay marriage is irrelevant to whether the govt will.
The sole reason the gays want to have a recognized marriage is so the benefits that are afforded to marriaged couples can run tho them. This is a bad business decision. Evberyone will pay in increase prices and taxes.
The whole thing sounds like a 14th amendment equal protection issue being that gays are a semi-protected class.
One side of me say let the gays have legal marriages and let them be as miserable as everyone else.
