I don;t know if anyone if aguing that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry in a church. I think I said earlier, that there should be a mechanism for allowing people to marry under law, and a seperate mechanism for people to marry in the church (whereby the church ceremony incorporates the civil aspect). I think it is up to the church to decide whom they marry, even though I may disagree with them. But everyone should have the equality of the civil marriage.

I guess this really comes down to how you define marriage, we use the same word to mean so many different things. In this case it seems like marriage for you is a union under God. But the word applied in a different context can mean different things.
