So what you are saying is that it isn't fair that they can't marry who they want to marry, correct?
Even if he isn't saying it. I am. Age limits are one thing because that affects everyone. You say "You cant get married under age 18", that affects everyone regardless of religion, race, sexual preference, etc... and that is one thing. But to say "Hey jim, yo ucant marry joe because youre dudes, and even though you are in love with each other and are in a very very committed relationship, sorry cant do it. I know that there is no official religion in this country, but we still hold true to our laws based in Christianity and say you can't be married because the bible forbids it. No i don't care that we are singling you out as a group even though you contribute to society and what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom is none of my business, but think about it, if we let men and men marry and women and women marry, then where do we stop, how long before a man marries a horse!!!!!11111oneoneoneone"
It's stupid, regardless of orientation we all are the same species so how the hell is it even remotely okay for us to legislate that one group of people is "normal" and can do something and another group of people isnt, so they cant do the same thing even though on the genetic level they are the same. (yes i know a direct DNA compare would be different that wasnt my point you nitpickers)
This is why government should do nothing other than take care of a voluntary, defensive only army, regulate the currency, and take care of criminals that actually directly cause harm to people. None of which our government is currently doing, so it looks like we are batting 1000 here.
