Some may be confused by my stance, as I consider myslef Consevative.
While I personally think 'marriage' IS between a man ans a woman, because
it's ordained by God, I agree with the SCOTUS.
I also being a Libertarian think the Fed shouldn't be involved in the 'marriage business' period.
Now that said, I understand that there should be court intervention where children are
concerned where like a 'couple' split up, but as far as monetary issues, IMHO ALL those
laws should be repealed, and the feds get out.
If states want to make, or keep there individual laws, I think that's fine atm, but I really feel the same
as with the feds.
I've seen certain cases where a partner couldn't visit a patient in a hospital.
I never thought that was right whether it was just a friend, or same sex partner.
There are other, what I consider, basic human rights also that should be fixed along those lines.
That's why (and it's just a matter of semantics to some, but not to me) Marriage
is ONLY between a man and a woman.
Also, while I'm not a Mormon, and I see certain problems with polygamy,
I have a somewhat unique view on that which I won't go into now.
