19. Whether it's a sin or not is irrelevant
Fortunately, we have a document that has specified that Congress shall make no law preferring one religion over another. That document is the US Consituttion. Amending the Constitution to forbid same sex marriage is unConstitutional.

I'm glad you were able to separate your religious beliefs from this issue. So many right wingers can't. There have been very few people who oppose same sex marriage for reasons NOT based on religion. Their only reason for opposition is based on a religion that not everyone subscribes to. In fact, not everyone who subscribes to the same religion agrees with them.

The religious zealots (not to be confused with rational people who believe in a higher power of some kind) need to remember that if the USA becomes a theocracy, the state religion might not be their own.
