The reason same sex marriage is not legal yet is that the people that make the laws are frequently christians, and those who aren't, were probably raised with a sort of 'christian-by-default' morality. The original lettering said marriage was between man and woman, and then when same sex couples came along and wanted to get married, the fundies latched onto that wording in order to prevent what they perceive as a threat to their belief structure.

To truly maintain separation of church and state, the word 'marriage' should be struck from the law books. In order to get all those benefits that spouses now share, there should be 'civil unions' under the law. 'Marriage' should be a strictly religious term, and governed by the rules of each religion. Which means that couples would have to have two ceremonies. The legal and the religious, and the religious should have -no- influence on the legal.

But that's my opinion, I could be wrong.
