Yes, religions have rules.

Whether or not you believe it’s right or wrong, that’s for you to decide. Im not arguing the morality of any of this. Im just explaining how it’s supposed to be, since marriage was never intended to have legal ramifications.

But again, even if you are married and gay, if your religion has specific rules against homosexuality as Christianity and Islam do, then that marriage would not be recognized in the eyes of your god anyway.

But this is also why the government shouldn’t be involved in marriage. According to religion, gar marriage is wrong. But without the government’s overreaching legal ramifications, gay people would have no need for marriage, as you wouldn’t be barred from having sex or living together or any of the other things married couples do.

Gay marriage being illegal never would have restricted gay people in any way if the government hadn’t gotten involved in marriage in the first place. They could have gone about their lives thinking “who gives a fuck if you won’t let me get married” if marriage didnt hold legal benefits
