12/20 Marry Me or Else!
Quote From: lovingoneBut the governments position isn't even keeping GAYS from having ceremonies.
I even saw two women getting married in an issue of Modern Bride about a year ago.
To be honest, there was a time when I would have gladly voted to expand the marriage definition. But one day I saw a gay rights advocate say that he WOULDN'T support other types of marriage laws beyond straight or gay marriage.
I am NOT a fan of plural marriage or other fringe marriage practices. BUT THIS GUYS POSITION TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR GAY MARRIAGE AND THEN FIRMLY SHUT IT TO ALL OTHER RELATIONSHIPS NOT PROTECTED UNDER CURRENT LAWS WAS NO BETTER. HE JUST DISPLAYED THE SAME LACK OF CARE FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHER GROUPS.
What if I want my best friend to make my decisions when I am in the hospital, or my roommate to get my benefits? Gay marriage laws won't help that.
But anyways, your excuse is only centering your life around what the government does or doesn't do anyways. So ya, YOU let them in your business.
That is why I said that I am also in favor of the government abolishing legal marriage. If people want legal contracts fine. If people want religious ceremonies, go for it. But for the government to keep tabs on who's in love with who is by far too over reaching. Especially when the definition of government marriage is a religious one.
And what "excuse" are you talking about? That makes no sense.
Divorce costs our country too much money, I think legal marriage should be abolished.
