Marriage is a contract.

Government has some role in the enforcement of contracts.

Get the government out of the marriage business. They don’t belong there.

A bull can marry a sheep for all I care.

But, contracts should be enforced.

Marriage is much more than a contract. If it is just a contract then a lawyer could be hired to finish out the details of who's what and what's responsibile or required to both parties mutual agreement.

The homosexuals want society's endorsement... even at the point of a gun.

Marriage is a endorsement of the bonding of a man and a woman to carry the values of society, to ensure the next generation and pass these values onto the next generation.

As for a " bull can marry a sheep for all I care."

Animals have no rights nor recognize the rights of other animals. That's why the animals are animals.
