Gay Marriage

Many states and many closed minded people believe that two people in love should not be allowed to marry but is'nt marriage supposed to be between two people who love each other. States being able to say that two people can not be married because of there personal sexual orientation is like saying that because a person is jeish they can not marry a catholic. Marriage is a sacred joining between TWO people who love each other and agree to be loyal to each other till death due them part. So who is anyone to say that two people ho love each other can't be together?
