"One of the first couples to exchange vows was veteran gay-rights campaigner Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 83."

Marriage is a religious institution.....how is it the governments business to define what can be a marriage or not?

More power to 'em - Gays have every right to be just as miserable as the rest of the married population... :P

Because what *religion* you are (or aren't, as the case may be) doesn't enter into whether you can get insurance coverage, survivorship benefits, etc. - that's where you need the LEGAL standing.

Besides, my wife and I are atheist. Does that mean we're not married?

Marriage is still a RELIGIOUS institution. Whatever your religion may be. I have a problem with gays using the term marriage. If they are married by a religious instituion (church, synagouge, ect) then it is a marriage. Otherwise, its a civil union.

If you and your spouse say things like "please" and "thank you" to each other, then I'm pretty sure that's civil...

It was NOBODY'S GORRAM BUSINESS when we got here!
