Gay marriage: Did I get your attention?
Submitted by slice_o_logic on Fri, 2009-11-06 09:44.
I have heard ideas by a few with similar thoughts to my own on this subject, but not many. I think that the government should not differentiate between married or unmarried at all. That being said, I do believe that the relationship of marriage has always been between a man and a woman (or women). The english language is constantly changing, so the word marriage is often used in other ways, and I don't really care if two people of the same gender want to engage in a relationship and call it a "marriage". It seems to me that the extremes of pro or anti-gay marriage are loud, but do not give compelling arguments to support their position regarding law-making.

I agree
I don't think the government should be issuing a 'license' for marriage. Instead, a government should be issuing a 'certificate' for a contractual agreement between consenting adults to share their property and intermingle their financial assets.
If the government got out of the 'marriage' business then those people who view marriage as a Sacrament to be celebrated only between a man, a woman and God could take their certificate to their respective priest, rabbi, iman,minister or shaman and receive that Sacrament.
And the government can keep its nose out of religious affairs.
