Just some random thoughts

Seeing all the hate come from the recent legislature to legalize same sex marriage has really disappointed me. Just when you think it might get a little bit better you have guys who tear you right back down. Personally I think the term marriage should be scrapped as it is a religious term and we have separation of church and state "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (an excerpt from the first amendment) and marriage is an establishment of the Christian church and has no place in government. I think we should call everything a civil union and keep all the same benefits. If you want a marriage in the eyes of the church you can still go to the church and have your union blessed and PRESTO you have a marriage. Conservatives keep their precious "morals" and I get the same benefits that every heterosexual tax payer has. Seems pretty fair to me.
