The simplest solution is to get the government out of the marriage business.
Marriage licenses started as a way to prevent interracial marriages. They’ve become a contentious issue with the advent of “same sex marriage.” Remember Kim Davis?
Why should I need the state’s permission to get married?
Now that the Supreme Court has rammed same-sex marriage down everyone’s throats (on spurious Fourteenth Amendment grounds), the Kim Davises of the world and the Melissa’s Sweet Cakes of the world shouldn’t be forced to lend their support.
Just leave people alone.
Wrong.
Government is interested in marriage (and has been for recorded history) for two main reasons.
1. The raising of the next generation
2. Disposition of property after the death of the parent.
Look at history before you start repeating the Big Lie, though that is a great example of the slope evangelicals are heading down.
