I'm not going to say I'm supporting Rand. I'd have supported his father over a Dem, but that was about it. As I see it the Fed support marriage in two ways- 1) via the tax benefit if only one spouse works 2) the second way is SS spousal benefits.

I'm sick of hearing about homosexuals and all their supposed discrimination that they can't marry. Do I believe that two people of the same gender living together as husband and wife put their souls in immortal peril? Yes. Do I think they should have the right to do that in a free country? Yes. Do I think the government should call them married? No. Do I care if the government thinks my wife and I are married? No. Do I care if the Lord pours out blessings on my wife and me in the beautiful sacrament of marriage? Yes. That was why we married in a church. I don't really understand why CHristians care if our decidedly unGodly government should get out of the marriage business.

“I don’t really understand why CHristians care if our decidedly unGodly government should get out of the marriage business.”

Do you care about Habeaus corpus and Trial by Jury?

I agree, too many people seem to think The State has anything to do with their marriage.

Anyone allows the State to define their marriage is subjecting their marriage to becoming as screwed up as everything else the Government touches.

Marriage is a union between one man, one woman, and God. It was not until just before the 20th century that progressives got the idea to try and butt Government’s corrupting head in between with marriage licences.

It was wrong & corrupting then and its just as wrong & corrupting of the institution now.
