Let me say something minor in favor of Drich.
I believe that goofy religious groups should be allowed to run their goofy religious ceremonies and rites as they please, so long as they don't harm others. As for "marriage," I have no problem if gay people want to call their civil marriage a marriage.
However, expecting a church to follow all the laws of the state I think is acting too much, and is probably unconstitutional in the US. A church shouldn't have to perform a marriage on a gay couple if it doesn't want to, for example.
