I really wish the government would just get out of the marriage business.

If the government wants a legal document filed to document a ‘union’ between two people fine. Man and woman, man and man, man and dog. I really don’t care.

However, in MY view, “Marriage” is a RELIGIOUS institution and as such, I have a problem with Adam and Steve being “Married”.

So, unless they change the government’s role in marriage (i.e. the government views it in a strictly secular sense) and they stop calling it marriage and call it something more appropriate like a “civil union” I will continue to vote against “Gay Marriage”.

And no, I’m no homophobe–I have quite a few gay friends. I just have a traditional view of “Marriage”.
