See, I don't see banning gay marriage as denying anyone of their basic rights or liberties. Marriage was created as a union between man and woman. Gays wanting to "ammend" this process don't seem to understand the concept of marriage itself. If so, they would understand that marriage between two people of the same sex is impossible. That doesn't ban being gay, it just says that marriage is for boys and girls, not boys and boys or girls and girls.
However, I do agree that the government's involvement in such issues will always be looked at with a skeptical eye - and there will always be two sides that are very far apart. I don't neccessarily know how I feel about the government's involvment, I am just stating how I feel morally about the issue. It's not an easy subject, and I don't think there's a simple answer to make everyone happy. In fact I don't think there's ANY answer to make everyone happy.
