I don't believe in marriage to begin with, so I'm all for doing away with it.

I actually liked the idea of getting gov't out of marriage and endorsed the idea but I started looking into it more and found that there is no realistic way this can work. Marriage is a societal and public institution that predates religion entirely and there is a valid public interest in regulation of it as a form of a social contract between two consenting adults.

There's no realistic way of getting gov't "out of marriage" when it was a secular institution to begin with and predates religion entirely.

Legalizing gay marriage is the just and constitutional action to take.
