Scott Shackford on Huffington Post Live at 11:10 a.m. (Eastern), Discussing Separating the Church and State on Gay Marriage

I’ll be joining a panel
discussion at Huffington Post Live at 11:10 a.m. this morning
(that’s 8:10 a.m. for you West Coasters) that asks the question,
“Should Religious and Civil Marriages Be Separate?” Here’s their
summary:

As gay marriage laws change, some conservative pastors say they
won’t perform any type of civil marriage. Even liberal clergy are
asking if civil and religious unions should be explicitly distinct.
Does marriage need a separation of church and state?

I don’t know if we’ll get into any sort of libertarian
discussion about whether marriage should be separated from the
state entirely, but we’ll see.
