It is really the only practical alternative in today's toxic environment. If the state can't issue a marriage license, it makes it more difficult for the homo lobby to seek out and destroy a Christian business for refusing to celebrate it.

Of course, the state will give up a little revenue from the licensing fee.

Worth watching. I'm bookmarking this.

Back when in 1870 or so when all my Catholic ancestors came to the USA from Rheinpfalz, Germany, the Catholic Church was opposed to the state institution of civil marriage. It was Bismarck who had pushed it through: licensing gave the German State the power to control something it clearly had no right to control, the institution of marriage.

The particular state isn’t the only one giving up revenue; the feds tax married hetero couples more.

That’s why a lot of hetero couples got married in church & didn’t file paperwork with the county clerk.

I agree, get the state & feds out of it & let em lose the $.

Seems like they would make it up by not having the marriage deduction.
