What is homosexual marriage when the states nor faiths refuse to recognize it? It’s non-existent.

When the state recognizes homosexual marriage, every entity of the state is essentially forced to support it where applicable including caterers, photographers, bakers, insurance companies, adoption agencies, etc. The only reason a state recognizes homosexual marriage is to ensure it’s supported within the state.

I have no interest in personal contracts involving homosexuals. I have no interest in preventing individuals from engaging in sodomy. But I have a problem when the state mandates that the behavior is supported and serviced by individuals/entities of the state.

THAT'S CRAP!...True....but crap.

The states have no business telling business what they have to do.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of state sponsored/defined marriage.

While ingrained in our culture and laws it does lead to some unequal treatment under tax and probate law.

People who are not married pay more in taxes.

I'm just of the opinion that state sponsorship has lived it's useful life.
