The religious people marry before god, the non religious people marry before the state etc.
On top of that, there are many religions, and for some reason they are mostly accepted, and they can all get married, what stops gay people from making a new religion where gay people can get married? Why wouldn't that be allowed, because other religions don't accept it? That's just bull.
You know all these churches and all have each their own religion, now if they don't accept gay people then fine, don't let them in, don't let them get married there, but if they want to get married somewhere else then it's not anyones business.
