I am afraid that I must respectfully disagree with you.

The aim of government is or should be the furtherance of the common good. Homosexual anything is an ABBERATION, repeat, ABBERATION and not in the interests of the common good. Because of this, the government should legislate against same-sex marriage, unions, etc.

Also, maybe I am just dense but how in the world whould it be even theoretically possible for the government to "get completely out of the marriage business"?

I stand to be corrected by anyone with greater knowledge on the subject, but as near as I can tell from historical records, government sanctioned marriages started a few years after the conclusion of our Civil War. That would leave me to believe the country enjoyed a long period without "government religion", which is how I view government sanctioned marriage.
