Just a random thought on gay marriage. I believe in the secular country that we are supposed to be, this should have been an open shut case years ago. Marriage in this country is viewed as a legal contract and with being married individuals are granted particular rights and recognitions that non-married individuals are not able to enjoy. A personal religious belief stating that marriage is some holy sanctified union created by God and only between a man and a woman, should hold no bearing on the law of the land.
