Actually, marriage is a contractual agreement between two parties and the state which often gives the two parties special privileges such as a lowered tax status. The state specifically removed God from the equation other than the ceremony. So citing God as a reason for outlawing same sex marriage is really reverting the state law back to when churches controlled marital status. Maybe we can outlaw divorce next and have to execute our wives instead?

Besides, there is no reason gay and lesbian couples shouldn’t have to suffer like the rest of us.

The majority shouldn’t have the ability to vote for what rights we grant the minority.

If you see this as a basics “rights” issue, the Federal Government should get involved – specifically the Supreme court.

That being said, Romney has said that he favors a Constitutional Amendment that defines marriage as one man and one woman.

Like it or not, this is the way our system is supposed to work. Social issues should be left to the states (the People?) to decide for themselves.

Obama, like any other American, is free to voice his opinion on the matter, as are you.

In this case, the overlords are ourselves. The People voted against. Live with it.

But of course, this shouldn’t be a matter of government at any level.

But those that wish to use government to inflict their will (same-sex marriage advocates) are no more wrong or right than those that are forced to vote yea or nay on it.

Bottom line…government should be out of the marriage business altogether.

I, for one, welcome our new same-sex wedded overlords.
