Love those national talking points “separate but equal”, yet redundant, sporadic, with some off topic. Some may be ignorant of U.S. history, yet marriage is a fundamental institution rooted in religion. Your absence of context fails the simple test of acknowledgment, let alone the realization of fundamental cultural, religious, and societal interrelationships.

Even when considering only the recent government sanctioning in the U.S., circa 1920’s, also known as a marriage license, the former points are a common basis.

Regardless of banter, the point is that the court and other likeminded have failed to turn off the vacuum before they think.

Marriage is a legal contract. It is a contract entered into by people of many different religions, and also by those of no religion whatsoever.

It sounds to me like you failed to turn off the vacuum before you posted.
