Getting government out of marriage would be the best solution. Why would any human being, want "the power of the state" interfering in and over YOUR personal life at all?

@jakeluv7 - I have to ask, did you even listen to what the hell Glen said? Removing government purview from Marriage would allow ANYONE to get married in a church: gay, straight, polyamory or not. It would prevent the government from interfering in people's lives? How is that forcing ANYTHING upon you?

@psalmsmith Instead he argues that the state has usurped the right of God. But he's speaking of a Christian God when Jews marry, Muslims marry, Atheists marry. Marriage is an institution that has always been used and carried out by we, the people. When has God stated His case-by-case support for marriage? This is ridiculous! If God's sole authority in marriage exists in His Word, the Bible, how has state "usurped" that role? If this is a matter of faith, then how has anything changed?

@THEHELENOHENZO ... That's not even a sentence.

@BrooklynRedLeg Did YOU even listen? He says flat out "Marriage, to me & my god, is a relationship that exists between one man & one woman alone whom God has joined together for the rest of their lives." He posits the red herring of an argument that government involvement in marriage is somehow a relatively recent development in history that started with racist legislation that was passed alongside the abolition of slavery. This isn't an argument-- this is divisive bullshit!

Okay, was this filmed at a high school debate competition? No... oh! The North Carolina General Assembly... wow.

@spaceagedevice TO PREVENT IMMORAL AND INDECENCY PEOPLE FROM MAKING A MASS OUT OF OUR SOCIETY

[coeurdorable]

Separation of Church and State? Who even believes in "curses from God" and "blasphemy" anymore?

[MaryWaterton]

Amen!

Marriage = one man, one woman

Vote YES on the Marriage Amendment on May 8, 2012.

@frosted1030 Sounds like what the guy in the video is arguing...

[psalmsmith]

@MySensualWorld who is blaming divorce on homosexuality?  The guy in the video isn't.

All these statements you have made, where did you get this information? Is it fact, or is it just something you are making up? Site where you found your information, and tell me how god and the government co-exist in your little world. Here's a solution: Get government out of marriage entirely, no tax breaks, no intensives, marry for love in your religious places only.
