I'm unclear on how I feel about what I'm going to say, but it seems like everyone is all for letting individual churches refuse to marry gays but find it outrageous if individual churches refuse to marry interracial couples. I think I am of the opinion that, as wrong as it feels, churches should be allowed to be bigots because of the separation of church and state.

I'm kinda with you on that and I fall more into the "let churches deny same sex marriage" camp than the one that's pushing to force churches into equality.

My thought is that we do have a separation of church and state. And, at the moment, the real fight is to pass laws that allow same sex couples to marry within the state. Get that foot in the door then, as same sex marriage becomes more commonplace, the churches will open up.

But perhaps to fight it all the way today may find enough resistance to keep these people in oppression.
