I'm actually opposed to all state recognized marriages in the Unites States. I believe it violates the separation of church and state clause of the 1st Amendment. This is the same reason that people who (genuinely) oppose gay marriage oppose it.
If adult couples want to enter a legal contract joining their assets and income, then that should be available to everyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation, but that should also be separate from the religious covenant of marriage and associated ceremonies performed in a church.
So I'm opposed to state recognized gay marriage, but I'm also opposed to state recognized heterosexual marriages for the same reason.
What about Civil Marriage ?
The sky man don’t need to be involved at all.
It’s not the courts, it’s insurance companies who will stab you every chance they get
The Libertarian Mind everyone. Functional normal people can't even imagine.
Wouldn't a legally binding contract be "state recognized"?
Absolutely. What I'm saying is that all couples can apply for the same legal contract, call it a civil partnership license, civil union, joint household contract or something to that extent. Marriage licenses no longer exist.
