This shows that the separation between church and state is not so clear as people say. To what extent are one's personal views allowed to affect political policy? Or should everyone act in the interests of the greater good? Even then what is the greater good?
All I know is that it's ridiculous to discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation. I have no problem with gay people and nobody should. People should not be weirded out by gay people, shouldn't feel uncomfortable around them or anything like that let alone be concerned about their right to marry. Religious conservatives claim that allowing gay people to marry will destroy the sanctity of marriage... because heterosexual marriage is so special considering how many married couples get divorced here in the US.
This is another one of those things that should be a non-issue but ignorance keeps society from progressing.
More so it not only shows the flaws of religious people but it shows their complete and utter ignorance to basic human rights as well. It's dangerous.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
