I disagree, but for a reason you may not expect.

I define MARRIAGE as a Union before God. A religious event.

No government has the authority to declare a Marriage of any kind. Man/Woman, Woman/Woman, Man/Dog. Man/Dog/Cat ... NONE.

This business of "Gay Marriage" was initiated simply as a slap in the face to Christians. So end it.

The government DOES have authority to declare Civil Unions of any sort. Anyone to anyone. That they can do, and should do.

But not Marriages.

I’m not shocked at all. IMO to make it ok on both sides a marriage should be between a man and a women, but a civil union should be between gays if that’s what they want.
I’m a Christian but this nation is not and we cannot hold others to that if they chose not to. We have freedom of religion and that means you can practice a religion or not, or chose to ignore parts of the Bible that says homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of the lord. I’m not the one that’s responsible for their actions and neither is the government.

Well one positive thing about gay men is they free up more females for us straight men. However, the lesbian population cuts into those numbers, so it is probably a wash. Lol

I didn’t get lesbians. One is a girl looking person and many times the other is manly looking. Never made sense to me. If I was a lesbian I’d want to have a hot chick.

I dont care what someone wants to do with their life as long as its not imposed on me. If two people of the same sex want to get married to make that commitment, and get the tax benefits of it then good for them.

Im more worried about the rights that the govt is taking AWAY from me, like the 2a, the 1a, and taxing me into slavery.

Why is the government involved in any of this?

So they are. :idk: On what planet does "your definition of a marriage" based on one fictional story overrule another?

My definition is bunnies only, just to throw my hat into the ring, with equal validity.

Generally I'm of the same opinion, however long ago when this became the subject of the day it won't stop at homosexual marriage/union and it didn't...Americans set social standards for good reason, now anything that doesn't go along with "what I want" then it's just not right....I disdain the satanic religion of Islam, they won't put up with that shit either, now if they'd take the same approach to butt-fucking little boys and goats, as well as wedding little girls then perhaps they'd be onto something.

I agree that the government should not be in the business of marriage, that their authority should end at civil unions.

But let's be realistic here: we're playing semantics. Civil unions would bestow all of the same legal benefits, and plenty of religions support gay marriage, plus anyone can start a religion.

So, effectively, were we to change it so that the government handled civil unions and churches handled marriages, nothing would change.

So, really, what's the point?

Everyone fighting about gay marriage is completely missing the point.

Government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all.

Once you fix that, then it's just between you and your clergy, whatever their opinion might be.

As for civil unions, a partnership has been a recognized way to organize a business since long before the country existed. That's good enough.

Its about tax money, Mount is cheaper. Estate taxes,the spouse gets every thing tax free etc. Always follow the money.
