yes

marriage is a contract, government is in the business of enforcing contracts... <hr size="1" /></blockquote>

enforcing, but not defining the terms or participants (besides being of sufficient age/mental capacity to enter into a contract)

this is the same as the government saying 'Only males may enter into a Business Partnership'<hr size="1" /></blockquote>

enforcing the private contracts made by private individuals...

privacy is the key issue

if the contract excluded everyone but males, the government would be required to enforce it...

are you going to have the government force the klan to accept blacks?

a lot of idiots are trying to have the boy scouts accept girls...
