In Same-Sex Marriage Testimony, O'Malley Balances Religious Freedom, Civil Rights

1. I hope he also mentioned that Marriage is a State institution

You have to be licensed by the State to get married in Church. Without a State conferred benefit no-one can marry. It is also an instrument of the State that ends a marriage - the Divorce Court. And, as we've said so many times before, t he State is separated from religion. Every time t he law even mentions a dispensation for the religious institutions it is recognizing them and it shouldn't.

Sorry, I'm preaching to the choir, but so many people fail to see the relevance.
