DOMA and Prop 8. Both History.

I'm gonna wave my Canadian flag once again and say that we have the most sensible laws regarding same-sex marriages.

The first part of the Civil Marriage Act makes the definition of marriage gender-neutral. Marriage is the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others.

The second part says that churches aren't required to perform same-sex marriages if it is against their religious beliefs. That's sensible.

this is what i meant in my first post...

add in the legal portion of marriage is in front of a judge or justive of the peace in a courthouse, you can still have w/e religious ceremony you want. that way if you arent religious (like myself) yet still want to provide for the person you love and your family in case something happens to you, you can do so legally.

as i stated before, businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone. when working as a front desk clerk, i had the ability to ask anyone to leave, before, during, or even after they were checked in. hell a couple times i HAD to ask someone to leave.
it is no different than a restaurant denying someone who doesnt meet the dresscode, or any other business that doesnt want your money. if they refuse your business, take it else where, dont sue them because you got butthurt.
