re: #49 ihateronpaul

That is a really stupid approach to the issue.

why?

marriage is a religious institution, so the government has no buisness being in the marriage business: separation of church and state.

the government should simply recognize formal legal contracts between consenting adults, and adjudicate them through the legal system.

churches marry whomever they choose to. everyone wins, except the fringe on both sides, and the divorce lawyers.
