What kind of mental gymnastics did you go through to come up with that? And furthermore, what point are you even trying to make? You've twisted things so much that I have no idea what you're even on about now. In your attempt to twist my words to mean something I didn't mean (and that's a petty and immature way to argue a point), you've now entered the realm of the incomprehensible.

Marriage is not solely a religious institution. I doubt any same sex couple cares if their marriage is viewed as valid by a religious organization. All that matters is that they have the same right to marry as everyone else and have it viewed as valid by the government. Equality is a bedrock value of our country. Anyone that tries to deny that to others is a bigot and deserves all the scorn and shame in the world.
