Quote:I'm sorry, gay marriage isn't a federal matter. Technically marriage isn't a government matter at all. Instead of going the proper routes through the legislature the pro-gay marriage crowd went for redefinition by judicial fiat, the antithesis of the Constitution. Someday it will be a ruling that you don't favor and you'll piss and moan about how awful it is to be ruled by 9 Oligarchs, and I'll just sit back and say "You let it happen." 

 

That's my issue with you guys on most of these matters, as long as you get what you think you want now you have no concern for the precedent you're setting and how it will come back to bite you in the [BLEEP] someday. But that's just my hate and fear talking, because humans have never ever abused the power of government before in history and we have nothing to worry about.

 

The bolded text is my only issue with what you posted, and the crux of the matter. I, and others, are not a "pro-gay marriage" crowd, we are an "equal rights crowd". There's a big difference, and that difference is why the SCOTUS was appropriately involved.

 

Take marriage out of the hands of government, you have a point. The problem is government IS involved.
