Doesn't a marriage license prevent 'kissin' cousins' or underage marriages? A marriage license provides protections and benefits like how to file taxes and what benefits can be applied to a spouse. How does a marriage license damage marriage?My argument is that government intervention in marriages damages the institution of marriage more than anything else.But the argument is that allowing gay marriage will damage the institition of marriage. Your solution is a suicide pact with marriage.You reference to Jefferson is incorrect. Jefferson supported legislation that would mandate castration for gay people. Just google it. The article didn't reference Jefferson speaking about gays or marriage once.
I do believe, however, that government should get out of marriage and allow private individuals and churches to facilitate marriage contracts.
