but really now....

But if theres seperation of church and state and marriage is traditionally a religious ceremony.....why would the state support such a thing? I'm all in favor of them butting out of the whole thing and treating each individual AS an individual. Of course, the state would have to stop collecting a fee and stop doing civil ceremonies.....
They would also have to stop granting divorces and all the fees associated with that. We all know that hetrosexual couples take their vows very seriously and would only need a divorce (granted by their church) in the most extreme of cases.
But as far as I can see the state wouldnt treat married people any differently then they would single people.
And for the record....always in favor of the majority voting on issues involving minorities....thats ALWAYS the fair thing!
