My question is : What business does government have meddling in what is either a religious issue or a social issue?
My answer: none.
Government should stay out of marriage altogether. It is none of the government’s business if I am married. I should not be taxed more or less because of it. And I should not have to tell the government on a tax form (or any other form that I can think of) whether I am married. .
And I should not be forced, as a private citizen, to recognize someone else’s perversion of marriage.
Marriage, as it has been recognized by Christians and Jews and most societies in the world for thousands of years is one man and one woman. Redefining words that up until now everyone understood seems to be a tactic of the left-wing fascists who are hell-bent on destroying America and its culture.
(Ironic, isn’t it, that they try to mimic the heterosexual culture and practices that they so despise?)
If homosexuals want to have some sort of official committed relationship, there is not much I can do to stop them. But whatever it is they have is not a marriage.
I'm not entirely sure the "most" part ic accurate. Many, many societies have allowed for marriages which consist of one man and one or more women.
Including the early days of Judaism.
