"Please explain why the government should be 'encouraging' anything?"

because the if the government didn't encourage lawfulness, there would be none... if there was nothing to stop anyone from stealing all your stuff and murdering you'd have nothing and be dead... that is the only "legitimate" purpose of government...<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>


OK - why does the government need to involve itself in these matters?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

why? ok, it doesn't... you have nothing and you are dead...

society no longer exists... everyone steals and kills as they like...

but people can't let that happen, they band together for protection and form governments... it happens all the time at the most basic levels...<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>


But that's not what we're talking about in here. Lawfulness and all of that is being disscussed elsewhere. This is about whether it's any of the government's business who you sleep with and if you want to make a marriage contract with them.

How do we have nothing and die if we don't amend the constitution to protect us from gay marriage? (lol...)
