I thought you said the government was getting out of marriage?

A local government deciding who can or can't get married is most definitely NOT the same as "getting the government out of marriage".  

There should be no such thing as marriage licenses, and no special benefits for married people that any other person can not have, no government involvement in marriage whatsoever.  It is a spiritual or emotional thing between two people.  The government has no business meddling with it.  That would be "getting the government out of marriage."

Main Entry: 1mor·al
Pronunciation: 'mor-&l, 'mär-
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin moralis, from mor-, mos custom
1 a : of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ETHICAL b : expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior c : conforming to a standard of right behavior d : sanctioned by or operative on one's conscience or ethical judgment e : capable of right and wrong action

If the government stopped policing morals, theft, murder, fraud, and speeding in a school zone all would be acceptable by lack of government interest.

The function of society is to police our behavior so that we can live together.

Do you really wish to stop policing behavior?

I would vote against gay marriage, I mean, what would be next, brothers and sisters getting married?? That being said, I'm with Miko on this one, the states should decide, not the feds.

If i am doing something that does not affect other citizens( such as buying beer on a sunday morning in tampa) why the hell should there be a law against it? Shouldnt people in texas be able to buy dildos! Think of employees of HTC!
Two gays getting married does not affect other people within the society. The government is not here to police morles to that extreme.

What if you are adopting a child?  Does that affect others?
