A recent New York Times article very clearly and rationally explained my stance on marriage. As long as the government recognizes and assigns rights/privileges to those with a marriage licenses, it is an infringement of the civil rights of those denied licenses.

Those opposed to granting marriage licenses to others based on the choice of partner often spew forth ideas based on religion. I have no desire to legislate religion, but the marriage license is not only a religious idea, it is deeply intertwined with government processes, rights, and privileges, making it a civil right.

I can think of two possible solutions to this violation of rights. Remove the marriage license as a government document and tool to determine ones rights. Or the easier alternative to remove the immoral, discriminatory restrictions for getting said marriage license. Religions can continue to decide which marriages they accept or not.
