The license is about recording in order to prevent FRAUD.
We USED TO HAVE a voluntary non government system but it was fraught with abuse and fraud.
Marriage is an institution.
Society rewards the institution no the individual
Society rewards Marriabe BECAUSE it is not about the individual.
There is no love test. The love argument is the red herring used by homosexuals.
Marriage is how society guarantees its future.
Keep in mind traditional marriage is a common law construct and thus has BROAD protection.
Civil unions/homosexual based marriage are 100% statutory and thus interprited narrowly.
Rush’s/civil union advocates entire argument rests on the falacy of “born that way.”
We must have government involvement in order to protect inheritance, taxation, and offspring. Homosexuals contribute NOTHING to society’s future. NOTHING.
The libertarian stand you advocate is what homosexuals and the left want to do to marriage and society. Eliminate it.
