I read a comment on an article I had written about the Romney / Ryan ticket and their stand on their opposition to gay marriage.

“marriage IS about religion. If you don’t care about God why would you care about being married? Most people get married in a CHURCH, and then a preacher wont marry them because it goes against what the Bible says.”

I don’t know if this person is gay or straight, but they left a few other comments that showed their bias when it comes to issues that affect the gay community.

Let me enlighten this person and others who may be confused on the subject of marriage…

Marriage in the United States of America is NOT about religion. The act of getting married to someone is not a religious act. It’s not based on any religion, any Bible, any book, any belief, any potion, any leader, nothing. One does not have to be religious to get married, and religious leaders do not have to preside over a marriage ceremony to make a marriage legal.

1. It may surprise this person to know

that people got married long before their "god" and their Buybul were invented. And some of those marriages even managed to work out. Those that weren't slaughtered by the chosen of Yahweh, that is.
