Is marriage a institution of the church or the state? Adding to the confusion, California:

"Should voters approve the measure, Cruz said, offering another potential outcome, it could inadvertently affect traditional marriages. That's because the amendment would undo only part of the court's decision -- allowing gay couples to marry -- but not the rest, which says that same-sex couples cannot be recognized differently than opposite-sex couples, he said. 'If you've got those two rules -- that you can't let them marry, but you can't give different options to gay and straight couples -- then one possible outcome, if the amendment were to pass, is that no one could get married in California,' Cruz said. "


GOOD! It should be illegal for the Government to regulate a religious institution. This could be awesome - or just funny.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
