Under my State's laws, I have a civil union since the marriage license I have comes from the State. It's a marriage because it's between a male and a female.
And if your state's marriage laws violate the constitution, they're invalid. Just as state interracial marriage bans were invalid. The restrictions themselves must pass constitutional muster. They must have a very good reason, serve a legitimate state interest and a valid legislative end.
Gay marriage bans fail on all three points.
That's your opinion and that of agenda minded judges.
Since judges have actual authority- those are pretty relevant opinions- unlike your own.
Don't confuse your agreement with relevant. Because you agree doesn't make it valid.
Let me point out what is relevant: When the judge in Alabama ruled that the ban on same gender marriages was unconstitutional, marriage licenses started being issued to same gender couples in Alabama- that is relevant.
When the Alabama Supreme Court said to stop issuing marriage licenses- that is relevant.
When the Supreme Court decides the issue- that is relevant.
Judges have actual authority- and their decisions are relevant.
Let me point out what isn't relevant: YOUR existence.
