The state legislature is where the response should be coming from. If necessary, remove the government from the business of sanctioning marriage altogether. Marriage being an essentially religious institution to begin with, the state ever having been involved at all is based on questionable moral grounds.
The idea that a government should have the power to say who is married and who isn’t is the fundamental problem here. Government has no business whatsoever being a third party in the relationship between man and wife.
Marriage carries legal implications. Do you really want to sanction a 50 year old male being “married” to 72 13 year old girls? Or grandpa “marrying” he granddaughter? or grandsons?
The illegitimate action of the USSC has dissolved the meaning of the word “marriage” - it has no meaning. “Marriage” now includes any grouping of persons.

The Government does indeed have a legitimate interest in marriage, and the people have a legitimate interest in having a government that sanctions marriages.
Apart from that, your position sounds like "Czechoslovakia should just let Hitler have that land because they don't really use it for anything," or some such.
You are trying to appease the HomoNazis. No solution that appeases them will work. It merely contributes to the larger problem later.
APPEASEMENT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!
Man you are full of (Obama) today. First your idiotic post 40. And now this?
Go to hell (DUmp) newbie troll.
The USSC said “the Court, in this decision, holds same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry in all States.” Since when is there a fundamental right to legal recognition of any grouping of persons assembled for whatever reason?
The USSC has rendered meaningless the word “marriage”.
Suppose a group of persons decides to “marry” each other and that group of persons is 10,000 individuals. What do you think about that?
We let government in on it when we allowed the 16th amendment to be put into effect, and when it made a difference legally and financially who is considered “legally” married.

OK, in this case, KY law says marriage is between man and woman.
So county clerk hands form to the ‘couple’, and says fill this out.
Blank one: name of man
Blank two: name of woman
????? Then what
