Why are republicans saying that gay marriage is a sin? isn't that mixing...

[LoViiN iiT]

...politics and religion? Shouldn't churches be able to decide for themselves? I just don't get it!! When a politician stops two people from being married they are a politician playing a role in religion. Isn't that what they say they don't want to interfere in?
Ohand by the way I am not a republican I am a democrat!! I am for gay marriage...so don't diss my question! I just dont get it!!

Issuing a marriage license is mixing government and religion.

If we abolished the government institution of marriage. It would only be a sacrament, and yes churches could decide.

This is how I would solve this problem. It also meets my requirement of never solving a problem with more government.

Gays are not treated differently under the law, a gay man can marry anyone they want as long as it's a female (the same rights as a strait man). That is equal treatment. (what they want is to marry who they love)

The problem is that single people get unequal treatment under the law. If every individual has equal treatment under the law, it would not matter.

Republicans have set examples....it is all right to be Gay as long as you don't get married...NYUK NYUK

We aren't Godless like the democrat party and yeah the nation was founded on religion if you don't like that you are free to leave.
