In reaction to the Newsweek article on Gay marriage...

 

My opinion on marriage is strange for someone who believes it to be a sacred institution to be shared between a man and a woman for the purpose of forming a family. I share many conservatives strong thoughts that homosexual behavior is morally wrong and therefore gay marriage is somehow condoning immoral behavior. However, in my opinion I don't believe that the government should regulate marriage....period. The government shouldn't sell marriage licenses, give tax breaks to married persons, or provide any benefit to individuals who choose to legalize their emotional lives. Think of it...no legal marriage, no divorce, no divorce attorneys, no controversy about gay marriage. Marriage could simply be a contract between individuals much like a prenuptial agreement dividing possessions and child custody. Marriage would be back where it belongs..within the confines of the churches and no ones business but the people involved.
