There is no reason whatsoever for government to deny marriage to gay or lesbian couples. I don't like the idea of marriage in general, why do you have to register your love before god or government, but for legal reasons its important, and those same legal reasons make it important for homosexuals.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
I knew I would find some agreement with the lefties on this one...
Agree with you on marriage - anyone should be able to do it: Marriage is simply a contract between two people (and perhaps their religion). The government has no business being involved with marriage - it should not be trying to endorse or restrict marriage in any way - it is a purely societal thing.
but - please explain why 'but for legal reasons its important'?
In the eyes of government, when two people get married, nothing has changed: they should still be treated just like any other person, single or not: taxed the same, have all the same laws and regulations applied, etc.
Give marriage back to religions and the people where it belongs! Why did we EVER let government have the power to give us 'permission' to get married? hogwash!!!!
