109. Sorry. Marriage is NOT a religious matter
It is a civil one and, despite what Kerry says, the reason to fight for marriage is so people can enjoy the same rights, benefits, and responsibilities.

The Mass. Supreme Court rightly noted the near impossiblity of "separate but equal" in terms of constitutional claims. I agree with the court and not with Sen. Kerry.

However, one has to credit Kerry with this: he doesn't fall back on some "states' rights" argument like one of his competitors and he knows what DoMA says.
