Anything the government allows is them taking a side. Anything it makes illegal is them taking a side. And anything it pushes is them absolutely taking a side.Same sex marriage is not the gov't taking a side. It is the gov't letting the free citizen make a choice.
I have long questioned why the gov't is involved in marriage at all. That is an intrusion on the most personal relationships. That two people of the same sex marry has no effect on your marriage at all. They were likely living together when they married, so the marriage was just a legal document that certified the committment. In fact, you would have no way of knowing if the couple were just living together as a romantic couple or married, unless they let the celebration be public.
The effect of marriage is so profound to the health of a society and individuals. There is no way the leftists in government should be in the business of discouraging marriage or encouraging illicit relationships which they do through their policies.
