Takeda - in this I have to agree with Skybird. Its only appropriate that governance take place closest to those governed. Thus - lets say a "community" - or as is reasonable in the US as it is today - at the state level - gay marraige is banned (as it is in many states). If someone does not like that - or wishes to marry within their gender - no one is stopping them from moving to another state where such actions are legal.
If it were done at the community level - so much the better - people move down the street. Heck - people move for less important things - like to get out the city limits (thus avoiding paying city taxes), or to put their child in a school they prefer.
@ the general thread...
The answer is not to regulate marriage one way or the other.
The answer is to get the Federal Government out of marriage entirely.
