I don't believe in gay marriage or straight marriage. I do not believe it is any of the governments business, marriage is about love and that's not something the government should be involved in.CMV

People ask me if am against gay marriage and I tell them the same thing: yes I am, but am also against straight marriage, the government should play no part in love, or choosing who you want to spend your life with. The fact that we must seek the government's approval seems insane to me. I understand the different tax reasons and others like it, but marriage should not be guiding that, love is not the governments business. I believe this is just the government trying to legislate morality. The government should be involved in other business than telling people whom they can and can not marry(love). If there really is a slippery slope as to people are going to start being polygamous, so what? Who are we, and who is the government to tell anyone of us whats good or bad for us, are we not capable of making our own decisions.

The government won't stop you from choosing who you love, or who you live your life with. 

But in most cases, where people want to spend the rest of their lives together, they also want to do a number of other very common and specific things. They want to be able to visit in the hospital in the case of an emergency. They want to ensure that if one were to die, the other would be financially secure and inherit the deceased's money. There's a bunch of things like that. Most of these various rights could probably be granted via individual contracts - but that would take literally hundreds and hundreds of signatures from both parties. 

Or, they could go down to the courthouse and do it all in one fell swoop. That's what getting a legal marriage is.
