"What's left is the religious connotations. Some people get hung up on that.

What you call hung up, other people call religious freedom. Why do you care what other people believe?

"So let them pressure their own religion not to allow gay marriage in their church."

I'm pretty sure they are already free to do that, without you and I 'letting' them.

"Not the business of the state.... you would think the 'conservatives' on this thread would appreciate that."

I am conservative and I do appreciate that. I am also liberal depending on the issue. You are one of the folks who wants to make gay marriage 'legal' (a business of the state). I think civil unions does that too but I don't care. So what do you really want?

Once gay marriage is legal it will be used to attack church's tax deductions/exemptions (has happened in NJ), involvement in adoptions (has already resulted in the Catholic church not being involved in adoptions in MA), religious schools and who knows what.

Thats the real purpose of gay marriage. Its a weapon against religion.

And most advocates of gay marriage know this and strongly approve, I believe.
