Gay marriage is perfectly legal and the only thing preventing it is the religious opposition to it.
In all actuality and legality, there is no reason that it should not be legalized.
Why are we continuing this farce for the sake of the word salad master?
I have been thinking on how to replay to your post. I can see what you are saying however, there is also some fallacy in your statement.Gay marriage is perfectly legal. . . .
The thing is that Gay marriage is not perfectly legal in our country and thought the world, hence why the court case that is being argued at the supreme Court . Also, in the states of Arkansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Texas same sex marriage is illegal.
Contrary to popular belief before 2010 same sex marriage was illegal throughout the United States, (except Hawaii) and internationally, (except the Netherlands). The current states that self acted to have same sex marriage, a law had to be added by the states legislator in order for same sex couples to marry.

Thing preventing it is the religious opposition to it.. . .
At times religion may seem that this is the cause when trying to create an us vs. them mentality but, do not forget that opposition to something dose not equal religious afflation. In fact such a statement is a major over-simplification and can be even bigoted to say that religion is the only caucus to opposition of the issue. Thus, fully agreement can not be made with you. If we were to look at religion as being the only issue, the facts are against your stalemate.

there is no reason that it should not be legalized . . .
To say that there is no reason is just willful ignorance and plane gullibility. I am sure if one were to truly stop and think of the issue, a some reason can be found. Hell, there is an opposing reason why someone should not eat, run, shake a persons hand, have sex, and so on.
