The whole thing is hypocritical to me, and to a large extent I agree with you.
Funny how the government doesn't give two shits when two people from the same gender date, have sex etc...but once they put that ring on the finger...''no, no, no...''
The reason gay marriage is opposed in some states and definitely some nations where there is high government control over everything, is because of religion. I'm gonna take a ''wild'' guess and say that the government just assumes everyone is a Christian and believes in straight, heterosexual marriage. Well, that, for a fact is not true. In America today, a large percentage of the population doesn't even believe in any religion and today, more than ever is the country becoming morel liberalized on social issues. To be honest, it's not about social issues, it's about basic HUMAN RIGHTS.
That's why I hope in my lifetime gay marriage just becomes legal for everyone because I believe a government should NOT tell people what to do, because a majority of the population deems it wrong, all because of religion to boot!
Is it normal to think the government should be uninvolved in marriage?
