The only question is why do you want to end having any definition of marriage, and just let everyone define it on an individual basis?
Do you guys think there is only one church in America, or even one religion?
Who would enforce that only Muslim, Mormons, Christians and all of the other hundreds of religious, and cult definitions count anyway, aren’t atheists equal in America?
The question was “What is your excuse for government controllers / licensers of marriage imposing “gay marriage?”
You’re welcome to address it.
It is, after all, directly pertinent to your expressed view that such things would come from a lack of government control, when a quick scan of Google News shows that such things are happening right now BECAUSE OF government control.
Here’s another point.
I’m against “gay marriage” and gay anything for that matter.
I’ll presume that you are as well.
So here are two situations:
1. The government controls marriage. The government institutes gay marriage, which is currently happening at a hellish pace. Because marriage is a government enforced thing, businesses are forced to give benefits to “gay marriage” couples. Schools are forced to teach “gay marriages are good” curriculum. Et cetera.
2. The government gets out of controlling / licensing marriage and an adult man and an adult woman can write / sign their own marriage contract, with the terms binding only upon them. None of the horrible consequences of situation 1 happen, and divorce becomes rare. Civilization flourishes.
