In all seriousness, if Conservatives want smaller government, which translates to the least amount of interference by government, than I think that homosexuals should either be allowed to legally marry in accordance with state law, or that government should get out of the marriage business altogether. Between the two, I personally feel that government should get out of the marriage business. If two individuals want to be involved in a private ceremony that they call a marriage ceremony, so be it. It's a free country, and people should be allowed to make any declaration they want to another being provided that when the other being is human, said human must be an adult and agrees to it.
If you or I feel that the original intent of marriage is being mocked and desecrated, we are entitled to our opinions. Marriage already is by many who can legally engage in it. I would never be a member of a church that would endorse such a ceremony, and that is exactly where our religious freedom comes in and protects us from the government interfering with our theological and moral beliefe and forcing us to accept sin.
