I’ve been arguing for years now that the govt no longer belongs in the marriage business. This positioned managed to upset a few.

Count me as one who is upset by your argument.
I’m sure you’ll agree that the government used to have a valid place in the marriage business. As marriage and The State functioned in harmony for 200 years and as a result; America was a healthy growing society.
So what changed Gene? Why now do you believe tbe “no longer belongs in the marriage business”?
I agree with Gene about the government losing moral authority to manage marriage.
We are no longer governed by those constrained by the Constitution let alone any Natural Law or even the 10 Commandments. We are now subject to the whims of populism. There is nothing more revered to those who govern then their own selves and ideology.
As I have quoted Tom Wolfe, ‘We lost this country when the 10 Commandments were removed from the town square.’ Without such agreed upon basic laws, anything goes now.
Well, it’s no longer a Constitutional govt that properly recognizes the found morality through which it was created.
Right now, the govt process is heaping pile of dung that requires a legitimate reset. I’m doubtful, however, it will ever shrink to the levels I’d prefer.
