There are errors of confusion on both sides of the same-sex marriage debate.

Those advocating same-sex marriage are wrong in arguing that religion should have no public voice in relation to whether the fundamental nature of marriage should be changed. Those opposing same-sex marriage are wrong to do so in the public square (as compared with inside their religions) on the grounds of the immorality of homosexuality, or to lump in objections to the legal recognition of same-sex partnerships, as the Vatican has done.
