I disagree completely. Marriage is now and always has been, in principle, intended to secure a future for children, which is pointless between two people of the same sex.

There are people who have tirelessly promoted this idea that gays should marry. They do this specifically to damage Western Civilization. Those people should be resisted with every available resource.

They are not connected. If the .gov had zero business in marriage - the push for gay marriage, basically doesn't exist. Goes to zero.

People can get married in whatever church they'd like - again, the .gov stays out. Historical marriage can and would continue to happen without .gov interference - same as it did forever before the .gov decided they wanted their piece of it (marriage license fee/tax) . Of what value is the government to "secure a future for children"? None. Hetero marriage or not.
