The government also has no right to change the definition of what marriage is. If two people of the same sex want to make an agreement between themselves similar to a marriage agreement, I can't stop them from doing so and it's also not my business. None the less I think it's wrong.The various religions can duke it out to define what marriage is. I don't care about that. However, I care very much about adults in committed relationships being able to reap all the benefits that other legally married couples have. The underlying concept is that "marriage" is a legal contract. In many places same-sex couples are denied the right to enter into this contract. A group of people being denied a due right that is afforded to other groups is a significant problem.
