I certainly believe it ought to be but, again, I'm not a conservative who believes same-sex marriage should be banned. I think there's a distinct difference between marriage in a legal and social sense and marriage in a religious sense.

In the most traditional sense possible, marriages never involved the state or religious institutions, but we've moved beyond that clearly. Religious institutions started getting involved with the Catholic Church early on and eventually, the state came in too.

We started bringing marriage into the legal realm here in the states as far back as the 1600s, so I think it makes sense to -- at a bare minimum -- acknowledge the relevance of being married in the legal and social sense alongside religious marriages.
