The government shouldn’t be in the business of approving marriage - straight or gay.

Just because you don’t agree with the lifestyle doesn’t mean you should adjust your views accordingly. That kind of hypocrisy has burned the GOP in the past 2 elections.

the problem occurrs when you expand the “marriage’ as sanctioned by the state..then we move on to polygamy etc.

If all single persons were given ALL the same rights..bequeathing their pensions, social security benefits and tax breaks and medical decisions( granted to an assigned guardian)...the whole issue of gay marriage would be null and void, except for religion, where the govt is not involved.

Marriage forms the fundamental self-perpetuating unit of our civilization. Folks like you are helping to destroy it with this nonsense.

The GOP is dead, primarily because it is populated with fuzzy-minded folks like yourself who are disconnected from the basic morality that this republic was built on.

Yep. Sometimes I wish that the descendants of William Jennings Bryant would have stayed in the Democratic Party. Even worse is they brought “rural populism” with them, which is as unconservative an idea as you will find.
