"Bottom line: The government should have nothing to say about any marriage."

By this reasoning, the First Amendment is itself a kind of government interference:

The government should have nothing to say about free speech, since that is between me and with whom I am speaking.

In any case- by "any marriage", you mean "any straight marriage" - which is redundant. "Homosexual marriage" is an oxymoron; the term should never be used in English, as marriage by all historic, cultural, and (until recently) legal definitions, pertains only to heterosexuals.

Are we almost to the part where the discussion turns to hot lesbians?

Try searching for the word beardache in google, or hijra and if I pull out my anthropology books I'll find some more examples.

Face it, the only people having problems with gay people are christians, jews and muslims... at least it used to be like that untill some of the "hate" rubbed off on other cultures.

Oh... marriage is more or less universal in all cultures.

Exactly right. You can't have a marriage without a husband and wife...and two people of the same sex can't fulfill those roles.
