This whole thing is stupid. Personally, I believe the government has no place getting involved in marriages. This includes heterosexual
and homosexual. Hell, if you want to get married to a chair that is your business.
Our government needs to focus the debate on the more important issues. (Economy, infrastructure, military, healthcare, etc) They won't but it still needs to be said. Too bad most of our population seems to hold this "issue" as more important than the above.
Marriage is by definition a contract with the state.
Regardless of your feelings about the "gay marriage debate", this is representative of the fall of our country, these United States of America.
Federalism has fallen. Hamilton is rolling - nay spinning - in his grave.
Marriage is a contract with the state? How do you figure?
