Sorry. The stated ultimate purpose of the United States Constitution is to secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity.

Agreed.

Government has a vested interest in the preservation and protection of one man, one woman marriage.

Why is government concerned about a religious institution? I would think the preservation and protection of marriage is a job of the church, not the state.

[Truthsearcher]

Because the preservation of the society and the civilization is not just a religious issue, but a secular one as well.

It isn’t just a religious institution. It’s also a civil institution. Always has been in this country, for very good reasons.

[little jeremiah]

Marriage is not a religious institution, it is a Natural Law verity.

Religions just recognize that truth.

You just want to destroy marriage.

You don’t even state your own position clearly, so you a drag to discourse with.
