Marriage Equality

The case in  the Supreme Court now is to decide whether states have to honor another states decisions to allow same sex marriage and extend their own citizens  the right to live without harassment by law or authorities for their lifestyle.  The whole thing is nomenclature and the desire to regulate peoples other sexual behavior.  If two men or two women in the next house want to play with each others genitals, I can't see that hurts me or should affect me in any way.  Any agreement between any two people is a social contract that can be regulated or recognized by the state.  So a social contract between a man and a woman usually is referred to as a marriage.  Once a social contract is made and approved it doesn't need to be ratified, it just is by common law..  By custom, most people go to an official of the state or a religious organization to get it ratified by someone authorized by the state to do this.  The problem arises by personal belief in an other world personage called a god who possesses the power and ability to punish or reward behavior they feel it either condones or condemns.  Afraid of this imaginary punishment they feel compelled to try to bend everyone to believe as they do.  They do this by passing secular legislation that forces others to behave as they feel is necessary to avoid punishment.  What it all boils down to is prevent any person from following his or her nature and keep hands off any other genitals but their own and whatever gender is approved  of.  Get rid of the religious baggage and the problem of marriage equality will fold it's tent and silently disappear.
