Democrats using marriage as a political tool? See also Republican using marriage amendments as political tools.
And government focing people into marriage. That's a laugh.

Why do you need permision from the government to marry? Gays are fighting for marraige entitlements. Some are delusioned and think they are fighting government for rights, but a right is not asked for.
Because even without government issuing marriage licenses marriage still bleeds over into the legal. Â Marriage concerns joint property ownership, fiscal responsibility for raising children and providing for spouses, ability to adopt children, ability to have legal responsibilities in medical matters and in case of emergency, and other legal issues. Â If government didn't issue marriage licenses then it could turn into a clusterf*ck of people dubiously claiming marriage and money owed, and there's no way to disconfirm that claim because government is no longer in the business of authorizing people to conduct legitimate marriages and recording who is authorized and whom they conducted marriages for. Â This whole "government shouldn't be involved at all" claim is so stupid it's not even funny. Â honestly, I think it's mostly just biggots who finally realized they couldn't argue against government discrimination and then fell back on this argument so they could effectively discriminate as private citizens.
Joint property ownership of three parties, partner one, partner two, and the government. How is this better than the agreement of the ones to be married? They now have to deal with an extra owner.
