I am with Teal on this. Gays should have every right to fugk up their lives by just like straight people
I think you may have misunderstood my point.
I don't want the government - be it local, state or federal, to have a damned thing to do with marriage of any type. Not in the constitution that I'm aware of.
You want to get married - find a church/religion that will marry you - bam, married. Plenty of those around to handle all possible permutations.
Divorce? - Small claims court for division of property. Family court for custody. Done. Those already exist but they aren't necessary to GET married.
I would never invite a cop to "come in and look around" - never invite the man into your life. Why are we so quick to invite the .gov into marriage?
