Opposition to Gay Marriage=Smuggling Religion into Politics

One smuggles 'contraband.' There clearly are religious perspectives at play in the amendments that were voted down. I would not agree to call them 'smuggling.' One can disagree with the religious perspectives on this issue (and those perspectives differ … (see comment)
