Maybe marriage certainly is between a man and a women within THEIR RELIGIOUS point of view. And that's fine. Their church can be as exclusionary as they want to be. But the US government shouldn't be exclusionary. Marriage in the

It isn't but VCs have been known to avoid female founders for fear of them not working as hard as men since 'they'll have a baby sometime' or some nonsense like that [1]. Also women face gender discrimination in the bay
