I hope I've phrased the thread title appropriately/correctly (if not, please feel free to amend).
I thought we needed a thread for this, though there will hardly be that much to discuss seeing as all fair-minded people will think this a no-brainer.
What made me want to start a thread was this letter in the Irish Times today;
Plan for same-sex marriage in 2015 - Letters | The Irish Times - Mon, Nov 18, 2013
well said that man. The nail was hit squarely on the head here. Take out the religious bullshit from this debate and there is no debate. It comes down to basic human rights.

Sir, – We have been informed that there is to be a referendum to allow marriage equality in 2015. This will only affect civil marriage as defined in this Republic. Can I suggest that you stop including theological discussions ( Maolsheachlann O Ceallaigh, November 14th and others) in this debate.
I do not expect to find sports reporting in the business pages, so I would expect that you should at least set the tone for church/State separation and afford theological debates their own space away from debates on our Constitution. – Yours, etc,
