A load of hooey indeed. In the United States y'all have laws and ammendments dealing specifically with the separation of church and state, do you not? If that is the case, then who is it that is making these decisions regarding what gets separated, and what does not? Because that is obviously occurring.
Once upon a time, there was a powerful lobby that decided that a woman's body was her own property and she could make her own choices regarding her health. The lobby that brought about Roe v. Wade was so large and vocal, that the political fatcats decided it was time to invoke whatever laws and ammendments supported the separation of church and state. They saw a huge voting block that they could please; thereby garnering their votes.
It could work that way with gay marriage, as well. Those that wallow in your country's political trough just need to see that it is necessary to the survival of their careers to make this happen. Once the pro side of things becomes large and vocal enough, it will simply be a done deal.
All we cynics and realists know it's true. Once TPTB see that it's in their best interests to give gays and lesbians the right to legal matrimony - they'll just give it. And then spend the next couple of years clapping themselves on the back and calling themselves "mavericks" and "pioneers".
So vote. Lobby. Be vocal. It will eventually work.
