“Because then government couldn’t use marriage as a weapon against inconvenient citizens.”

Can you give us some examples, please?

“Because then government couldn’t use marriage as a weapon against inconvenient citizens.”

That’s why it will never happen, there are people on both sides who don’t want it to ever happen for completely different reasons. Conservatives recognize that a good state could promote a good culture by promoting marriage. Statists and homosexualists recognize that state recognized ‘gay marriage’ is just a way to punish and keep punishing those who will never buy into ‘gay marriage’ or whatever other impossibility the state decides to call marriage.
