I just think it's funny that Christians (particularly the effervescent body known only as "The Church") keep pretending that they somehow hold a monopoly on the very concept of "marriage", despite the fact that people of all religions (including a lack thereof) and walks of life get married (or whatever their equivalent of "marriage" is) all around the world, with or without their "sanctification".
It's why I truly believe that we need to rip the entire concept of "marriage", at least that which religions want to dogmatize, from the legal status of "marriage". Or just completely abolish the paperwork version of marriage altogether, and replace it with a gender- and number-neutral civil union contract setup which gives precisely all of the same rights that current "marriage" does. I've been saying this for a long time, but it needs to happen if we ever hope to get past this issue, because the religious right will keep stirring it up as long as they continue to exist.
