So the government decides the definition of marriage? Marriage has been defined by historical events. It's a religious ceremony and the government shouldn't be involved whatsoever.

Love doesn't matter, people marrying for love is really quite a new idea in the timeline of the world.

Of course it is. The government wouldn't have to be involved if people didn't shove their version of their religion in your face. Problem is we have religious gay people who want to be married the religious way. I'd be happy with it just. Not mattering. However being denied marriage because of religion that directly cuts you off from government benefits that straight people have because of it? Not okay.
The combination of church and state in this country is nearly absolute but for a few. Love came about in the Victorian era. I just think the bulk of it is insane. The very idea that our country of diverse people from diverse culture and religion must all most abide by the Chritian way of things for marriage and our personal lives? No thanks.
I don't have any idea how to fix it. All I know is I'm worried we will suffer most of all.
