Exactly. The government took control of marriage and then was able to curb the people's rights when it came to marriage. Once then government get involves in anything we start to lose our rights. As per the constitution we are all born with all the same rights as humans beings and the governments job to to UPHOLD the constitution to make sure those inalienable rights are upheld. Yet for some reason we have done a 180 and it seems the governments job it to create laws that take away rights, it's all backwards people. They create issues like this solely to divide the population, in conjunction with propaganda, so people will be stuck up and hung up on these wedge issues, when in fact if we just followed the damn constitution gay marriage would not be an issue, but then how would they divide the people (14 page thread, my evidence lol)
The government created the "marriage license" for the SOLE reason of taking away the peoples rights. Once they made "marriage" a legal issue they could then create laws to regulate marriage(taking away rights).
If we just went back to how things should be, gay marriage would be a non-issue, it should be a non-issue today, but the government has hijacked marriage from being a human right to a government regulated "privilege".
"Liberals" want to create laws to verify gay rights, "conservatives" want to create laws to ban gay rights. They are both WRONG, because "gays" have the same rights as everyone, and creating laws to take away rights is not what the governments job is.
All people are equal in the rights they have, every last one of us, the faster we realize that, and the faster we realize the government is no longer protecting those rights, but actually taking them away, the faster this world can fix itself the fuck up.
