Unfortunately the libertarians don't seem to understand that government has always been part of marriage since the dawn of government....and marriage. People want their marriage to be recognized by law, in court, and in society with all the blessings thus bestowed. I think libertarians have a real intelligence deficit the way they have no sense of human nature, history, and the utter impossibility that marriage will ever lose its legal facet.
Funny, everyone here, seems to think you have a mental deficit as well.
Marriage has always been, and always will be, between a man and a woman.
Whether government recognizes it or not, I don't know. I'll fight against that until I die.
But it is entirely possible that they might. And I'll still fight against it even then.
Regardless, as for me and my life, I will never recognize rump rangers as being married... because they are not. I don't what anyone says, you are not.
Now at the same time, I have no problem with civil unions. The government can call whatever it wants a civil union, and the rump ranger suicide kings can have that, if they wish... but they are not marriage. Just, sorry... not married. And if I sell wedding cakes, and a couple of quacks come in to buy a rump ranger cake... I'm not selling. Fine me. Sue me. Attack me. Threaten me. Whatever... Not happening.
