re: #96 Dark_Falcon

You can hold religious ceremonies for gay couples, no law can ban that without violating the Free Exercise Clause. but whether the law calls it marriage is another question and not one a church may force the law to answer in its favor.

But then the law has to justify why its civil definition of marriage is constrained only to being between a man and a woman…which is why the argumentation of Loving is relevant to issue of gay marriage.
