People aren't starting wars over NSA spying on us? Spending trillions of tax dollars on needless conflicts? But they will to stop a few people from loving each other under the eyes of the law?
And why is it the governments business who I love or don't? Marriage should be personal, between two people and their religion. Not with the government.
God created the world to be spied on, and have wars for the greater good, he didn't create the world so a man could marry a man and a woman could marry a woman, what a sin! (im joking here btw, so don't kill me anyone, I'm in full support of having freedom to marry the same gender)
but the only stuff the government is involved with is married couple benefits, i know there is more, but the only two i can think of, is hospital, like say your other is badly injured or is having a mental issue they dont allow you have to a say on anything unless your either the family or married. umm.. and something about death too but im not exactly sure of the details.
but yeah, with stuff like that, you can see why people were mad about not being able to officially be recognized by the government just because they had a same sex relationship. The people against allowing same sex couples those benefits every couple should be able to have are just evil.
Maybe the government could of changed the name of their recognition of marriage to Civil Unions like they were talking about doing to make the religious people less upset, but it looks like they decided against that, oh well XD. Looks like religious people will just have to deal with it.
