Now not giving a marriage license is "arbitrary" despotic control being done "to" gays. LOL, you're being a complete moon bat.
I want government to leave me alone. If I got that, I would be in heaven. The idea they need to give me shit to be happy is inconceivable to me.
So do you want to end all contract law or just marriage contracts?
Who's the moon bat?
You're losing it. Is that supposed to be a serious question? Do you want me to talk to you like a 12 year old as the questions you are asking me? That logic is like I'm talking to a liberal.
Marriage is not a "contract." It is a government function, which involves government regulations, taxes, court cases as determined by government not the participants and government can change at any time for any reason because they feel like it, which again is not how a contract works. The couple is bound by whatever government decides, whether they agree or not.
To compare that to a voluntary contract is the level of a liberal. In fact, that's what marriage should be, if a couple wants a contract behind their marriage, they should work it out and have a contract. If they want a Catholic marriage, they should work it out with each other and their church. Government should not treat it's citizens differently, like any other contract, they should just provide a venue for remediation.
To call what government does a "contract" is ridiculous, and to suggest that my wanting to end that means I want to end all actual voluntary contracts because of that government bastardization is something I expect from rdean or rightwinger, not you.
You are completely wrong. There is a religious marriage ceremony, and there is also a marriage licence, which is a contract. The contract, aka. a marriage license that you sign when you get married has nothing to do with the marriage ceremony. The point of the contract is to have a binding agreement regarding mutual assets.
I did not say government does a contract. You are being stupid.
Government is the law, the law enforces contracts. In this case a government provided or selected witness, certifies that the two parties agreed to the enter civil union. It's no different than getting your documents notarized. However, without government enforcement all contracts would be non-binding worthless pieces of paper. Duh.
