| I support repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, all laws
defining marriage, and all laws assigning special benefits or
discriminating based on marital status, family structure, sexual
orientation or gender. | I support equal treatment and civil rights protections for all
persons as a fundamental human right. | Marriage should be conducted by the church or as an agreement
between two people, not by the State. The State only fairly recently got
involved in this issue for supposed public health reasons. The state should
provide no more privileges to married people than it does to unmarried
people. The only exception would be to take into account the burden of
raising children. The state should not interfere with any private
contracts, so any two people can contract for whatever services they
wish. In any case, this is a state issue, not federal. I would not
support any federal recognition of Gay marriage. |
