I want the government OUT of the marriage license business. The only reason the USA government has anything to do with marriage is due to our stupid tax code. So I want a flat tax that everyone has to pay regardless of anything. Then marriages will just be a civil contract. Gays will be happy because they can call themselves married and religious people will be happy because they can get married at their church and continue to not consider gays married.
So I'm not for gay marriage because I'm against government involvement in marriage.
The definition of marriage should be between the people married instead of issued by a government that really has no business in the legal coupling of adults. We could still have laws like minimum age of consent, but we don't need the IRS involved. If two people enter into a marriage and then break up it would be no different than two business partners fighting over the closing of their hardware store. They'd just get lawyers or enter into arbitration like anyone else with a legal dispute. Laws involving where kids go in a break up can stay the same.
