While it is obvious that I agree with you almost completely on this subject, this particular subject does bring up the question of religious freedom. Where do you draw the line between the right to marry and the right of a group of believers to have their worship remain private, even in a group setting? Yes, I support the right of gays to marry, but I also support the right of individual churches to decree whom they will and will not perform the ceremonies for.

That said, I believe it is not the government's place to determine this one way or the other. It is the government's place to secure equal rights for all.
