If you believe in a supposed true definition of marriage, then govern yourself accordingly, not others.
Religious liberty is protected in no one is forced to officiate same-sex marriages or be involved in one, just that states cant be bigots and deny equal protection of marriage licenses.
As a non-believer, it is my personal opinion she already believes in one fantasy that is religion, she cant live out the fantasy of denying others what they wish to do based off what she believes in.

(23,362 posts)From a federal standpoint, marriage is the right to file taxes jointly. It is the right to collect spousal benefits from Social Security, and the right to collect survivor benefits from Social Security.
State governments further define it. It clarifies the heirs in case a spouse dies intestate (sp?). It allows a spouse to visit a patient, to discover the spouse's medical condition, to make certain decisions.
I fail to see how the rights of someone who is not me, should cause me to burst into tears. Hartzler is a strange person.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court held in a 5-4 decision that same-sex marriage is protected under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Amendment 14, Section 5
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
As far as Im concerned, states rights mouth breathers can take the L here.
