No state (or fed) should not be sticking its nose into a sacrament of the church! Marriage is a religious institution, NOT a civil institution! The attempt to redefine marriage is little more than a challenge to the power of the church to define its own sacraments!
No state should ever be in a position to usurp religious authority on the question of the church’s own sacraments! Jeb Bush is as wrong as the lefties on this!
What’s next? The state gets to redefine communion? Baptism??? The government has no business meddling in the sacraments of the church period!
