The only way to stop this is to get government OUT of marriage.

No, marriage between a man and a woman is a fundamental right recognised in American jurisprudence to enhance the family unit and thus the nation as a whole. The last time the Feds took marriage out of the government during the Great Society by substituting the state for marriage, they destroyed generations of inner city families and we are reaping the whirlwind to this day.

I see your point, but men and women are going to get married, live together, and raise children together whether the government recognizes it or not. I don't think gay marriage trivializes the institution of marriage, but I think divorce does.

A lot of people in general and especially on FR get SO worked up over gay 'marriage', and I honestly can't see why, when I think divorce and single parent (or no parent) families are a much bigger problem.
