Quote by: IGX A point that seems to have been missed in this thread: When any couple applies for a marriage license they are asking *permission* from government for the privilege to "marry". They are in essence waiving their *right* in favor of a gov't privilege. They are also allowing gov't jurisdiction over their relationship and future children. |
I think this point is moot since the government will still intercede no matter what it recognizes as the status of the family.

How many couples have had their children confiscated due to unproven claims of abuse. That could conceivably happen to a gay couple who adopt children also.

The government doesn't care if they are married or not.

It just seems that people are opening the door to the possibility of a ton of grief. I prefer keeping as much control over my own life as possible.

The government already is there. Whether you are married or not. But marriage aside, I agree. The government has run amok. It has far more power and authority then it should in all areas of our lives.
