It all started in the 1820s when democrats created marriage licenses because they wanted to prevent miscegenation. They made marriage a state institution, and look where we are now.
As a gay (but not a contemporary retard like many of my peers), I fully support civil unions for all, gay and straight. Making marriage a government institution was a mistake, but if we can't undo it now, we can at least make it more neutral.
