Religious Liberty vs. Same-Sex Marriage: Is There Really a Conflict?

May I humbly suggest that religiousl­y-based and sanctified mariages are used to legitimize the societal contract. There is nowhere a law that says that marriages have to be religious to be legal. Those who seek to force relgious acceptance of a secular and legal process are simply seeking to force religion to accept non-religi­ous management­. Not in the Constituti­on, not necessary. A simple understand­ing of human rights in the light of the mandates of secular society suffices.

If society wishes people to have the rights conferred by using the legality of state processes, than it must also observe those same rights in it's granting of human rights. Same sex marriages are needed to preserve the same human rights, and legal rights, granted to religious marriages; it's that simple. To use religion to take away the human rights of society's members is wrong, both from a secular and from a religious perspectiv­e.
