For someone who ostensibly believes in small government, a marriage should be seen as a contract between consenting adults. There is absolutely no reason ANY greater organization, whether the government, the community, the church, or whatever it is, should be making decisions about who can and cannot qualify for engaging in that contract.
This guy’s entire comment is a smokescreen hiding his actual opinion. He invokes the courts jamming it down our throats… that is their job: to limit the activities of government when government overreaches. Bans or restrictions on gay marriage ARE an overreach. A “true” advocate for small government should be happy the courts are telling the government no when it overreaches – but he isn’t happy about it. Because he’s, like most conservatives, full of shit.
The entire thing betrays that he doesn’t actually give a shit about small government. He wants government right up in peoples’ business. He wants you to share your bedsheets with government. He’s an insane, evil fuck because anyone who thinks the government should be involved in restricting marriage at ANY level is an insane, evil fuck.
Agreed. But hey at least it’s not a completely batshit insane opinion I guess! This is how low the bar is currently
