I've been to a gay wedding before. It's just like a heterosexual wedding, but with added gayness.

LOL

No state will ever be as GAY as Texas though

hey more tax dollars from all the "tourists" that will come here. Besides, gay people have just as much a right to be miserable as us straight folks....

Hey we have to be famous for something.

Besides, just another reason to leave this crappy country and move the family to France!

Canada legalized it too. sad attempt at insult, 51st state.

Of course. You'd generalise Canada on a provincial rather than wholesale basis, right?

I don't think any state should play any role in marriage at all.

Why not?

Marriage has been a state institution for at least 6,000 years.
Why change that now?

Separation of church and state. America was not supposed to be a state that revolved around a church. Since marriages aren't often for monetary or political gain anymore, I don't think there's any reason it should continue regulating it. There's no point. Whatever is a private contractual agreement between two people is no one elses business. It'd certainly make divorces a lot cheaper. And states would no longer be able to discriminate against any kind of person wanting to get married. Hell, polygamy should be legal as well.

I don't think you have quite thought through matters of tax and inheiritance that are influenced by marriage that the state certainly has a hand in.

I'm sure there are other ways of dealing with it than getting the government involved in marriage.

What does the Church have to do with marriage?

You need a state contract to give half your belonging to your partner without paying taxes over it.
Or to calculate income taxes over the combined income.

Those state contracts have always been called "marriage".
