When will people learn that government is not the answer? Hell, if the gay movement wasn't such a liberal movement that seeks to centralize power whenever possible, they probably wouldn't have to go to MA to get married because instead of asking the government for permission, they'd tell the government to go eff themselves, you can't tell me who I can or can't marry. I think a lot more people would be behind the movement if it took that approach.
While I don't agree with the first part of your statement that I made bold I can agree with the rest. People depend on the govt for WAY too much these days. You want to get married? Go do it. Since when does the govt decide who gets married and who doesn't? Wasn't it WE THE PEOPLE who invented getting married anyway? I wasn't aware that was a privilege that the government allowed us to have if they thought us fit to receive.
