You know the saying about gay marriage: If you don't like it, don't have one.

Or don't attend one.

Or make sure you belong to a religion that won't allow one.

But what a religion allows and what the state allows should be separate issues.

Which is why I'm glad there will be a public airing of the gay-marriage debate this year in Florida. After a successful petition drive, a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage has made the November ballot.

Pretty needless, when you consider gay marriage is already illegal in Florida. The Legislature passed a "defense of marriage" law defining marriage as between one man and one woman last decade. Given the political realities of the state, it doesn't look like that law will be overturned any time soon.....................
