--It frustrates me to no end when someone uses religion as their sole argument to strip someone of the same basic rights they themselves enjoy as a human being.--

Who's being stripped of any rights? Any man can marry any woman who'll have him, and vice versa. But no man has a right to marry a man, nor a woman a woman.

President Obooba agrees with me, by the way. At least he says he does.

As for religious objections, are you saying that someone who disagrees on secular grounds is acceptable, but an objection on religous grounds is somehow less tolerable?

--You don't have to like gay marriage being legal; but you shouldn't stand in other people's way because of it.--

The same argument can be made by pedophiles, polygamists, incest practitioners, you name it. So you're in good company.
