In the past marriages between different ethnicities or different social backgrounds or different religions/confessions or ofcourse same sex mariages were banned, because other people had the power to do so.
That's why government has to get involved, as the consent of the elected representatives of all people living in a country is a powerful statement. |
Only because government was involved in marriage. If there is no state to enforce such policies then there would be total liberty in this area.

if the government won't be involved do you think church would let gay people get married???????????????????????????????????????????????
no
|
There are plenty of churches that marry gay people in the states where it's legal. Furthermore, if government makes it legal instead of liberalizing marriage the same problem still exists. Government can't force these churches to marry gay people, or at least not in the United States ( a secular federation) can it. Finally, a church is not required to get married.

goverment cant force the churches..... but they can implement a law. not all people get married in the churches BTW..... yes a church is not required to get married.... the government does it too... so if the government would not be involve what would happen? people are now only gonna get married by the churches... and that would also trample LAWS....
tax law, property law, health law, insurance law, etc etc..........
so yes the government needs to be involve...

If the government wasn't involved in marriage that would mean there wouldn't be any mention of marriage in government.
Meaning all of those laws would change. Likely changed to a "Primary benefactor".
Also, lots of churches WANT to marry gay people.
