Please explain why congress is attempting to pass a law preventing the
religion I follow from following it's tenets and allowing me to marry my
lover.  My religion believes that my partnership is every bit as worthy as
a straight marriage, and the current laws prevent them from giving me the
same recognition.  This is in direct violation of the 1st amendment, and
you seem to staunchly support it, so you should be strongly in favor of my
marriage.  Have you written your congressman about it?

And you're not fighting to outlaw divorce because _________________?

No, I'd just know you were wrong.
