For real, wtf is happening to our freedoms, when who someone loves is legislated?

Freaking nothing better to do, no other important domestic issues, what about the FED, or unfair trade gaps between China and America?

We gotta worry about gay marriage?

Really?

Glass Steagall act was repealed, yet you all care about who sticks what into who...

No, the current administration does. Promises made and upcoming election that will feature Hillary Clinton as the next runner.

I don't know of any legislation that says you can only love certain people. If there is any, show it to me.

It isn't about love - its about an intentional decision by a small minority to redefine a subject (and word) using the power of government to make the rest of society accept their view - when in reality it shouldn't be a governmental issue to start with.

No it shouldn't, but you have to get permission from the governent to marry, which makes it a governmental issue. Therefore, who the licenses are issued to is a matter for the government, at least under current law, so the definitions are made by the government. Therefore the government is indeed discriminating against certain people as long as gays aren't allowed to marry.

Remove the government from the marriage business and gays will marry anyway. I don't see what the problem is.

Same old rubbish which that poster has already shot down himself when he previously made the claim
To recap, the early church moved into the marriage business which at the time was a purely government issue.
It was a case of a small minority redefining a subject using the power of government to make the rest of society accept their view.

I say government shouldn't to be in the marriage business regardless of the genders involved.
