lets say two men want to get married and the state they live in will not allow them to marry? that would be bad Right?

the trouble is, some dipshit somewhere in the past decided it was ok to let the goverment tell him that he needed permission to marry. the government has no right to "allow or not allow" you to marry whoever you choose. yet the freedom was given away and now some people want some of the freedom back and the government doesnt want to give it back.
Government isinvolved because taxes are involved. Remove tax breaks for married couples and it's no longer their problem.
