    So, just curious, with this ruling having just come in – invalidating the gay marriage ban. With gay marriage (possibly) legal at least until November, when a vote changing the state constitution will be on the ballot, where do Piggingtons stand? Should gays be allowed to marry? Will you vote to change the state constitution and ban gay marriage in November? If so, why? How does this issue affect you? If you would vote against it, why would you?

    I really wish the government would just get out of the marriage business.

    If the government wants a legal document filed to document a ‘union’ between two people fine. Man and woman, man and man, man and dog. I really don’t care.

    However, in MY view, “Marriage” is a RELIGIOUS institution and as such, I have a problem with Adam and Steve being “Married”.

    So, unless they change the government’s role in marriage (i.e. the government views it in a strictly secular sense) and they stop calling it marriage and call it something more appropriate like a “civil union” I will continue to vote against “Gay Marriage”.

    And no, I’m no homophobe–I have quite a few gay friends. I just have a traditional view of “Marriage”.

    Pretty common attitude. So, my question is, have you or will you ask your gay friends how they feel about you voting against their right to marry? And given the unlikely possibility that the state or federal government will strike down the use of the word marriage in its civil marriage laws, do you see any time you will support gay marriage?
