What government?
You should have stopped right there and left the 4 paragraph of fluff out. The OP headline states our, USA, government. In the United States who gives out the marriage license? Church or the Court House? So if the marriage license certifies you then it's a government right.

Not that I care about the actual issue one way or another, but this is just more federal government overreach. Not discussed in the constitution, should be a states right issue, like abortion rights.

Almost everything should be a local issue. People can choose their town or city based on this.
Bigger the govt, the less representative it is.

Well Mr.ConstitutionLover, where is marriage, or the right to marry, addressed in the US Constitution?

Just something to remember when the lefties say making decisions based on Christians' love of God is not appropriate....remember the left does it for what's best for what they love...

Under the guise of vague language, the RFMA could allow for the legal victimization of wedding vendors, adoption agencies, bakeries, and any other entities run by people of faith who refuse to offer services condoning same-sex marriage based on religious convictions.
The easy way around this is for the vendor to not publish prices. Price things differently for each customer. Two gays come in and the vendor doesnt really want to bake them a cake, price it at $25,000 for a single layer cake with grocery store icing.
Or just say you are booked up and cant produce a quality product in the needed timeframe.
Or bake the cake and substitute corn starch for flour. Or cayenne pepper for flour.
With that being said I dont care if two gays get married. I believe changes need to be made regarding marriage. I think it should be done at the courthouse for everyone (to make it a legal contract in the eyes of the state) and for the religious (of which I am) can have a separate service at their church (to make it official in the eyes of God).
As Jesus said (Mark 12:17) “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”
Churches should not be forced to do a service for someone who does not have the same moral standards.

Progressives loathe freedom, particularly religious freedom
Their goal is punitive.

Why do we need a federal law IRT gay marriage? Wasn't this settled by the US Supreme Court?

Dobbs was a correct decision, as was Obergefell.

I'm still waiting on the definition of a "secular government". Is there a Book of Secular somewhere that's going to define the values we base our laws on?

The Constitution is silent regarding Marriage. Not a peep. That Constitutional silence channels directly to the 10th Amendment. So in fact, there is no Constitutionally provided federal right to marriage. Just as there is no Constitutionally provided federal right to abortion.
So marriage itself is a state's right, not a federal right.
Marriage is not a state's right nor is it a federal right. It's amazing that people rail against the federal government getting involved, but will be all about letting a state get involved in in that right. Not every right needs to be spelled out in the Constitution for it to exist, and marriage is one of them.

They don't have to and this bill does not change that.

If a state were to drop marriage as a whole, I wonder how that would pan out.
At this point I'm wondering what a legit state can be proactive to fight what is coming. This is where we will see where DeSantis' muster really is.
