regardless, a party that claims to want the smallest government possible shouldn't be championing ANY social issues where the government is the arbiter of the issue
No saying they can't marry there BUT if they marry elsewhere their rights are still protected, the union is still recognized.

It's COMPROMISE, finding middle ground.

See but people must unfortunately rely on government as the arbiter of an issue and hence Right-Left and intrusive government because YOU and those opposite you refuse compromise, refuse to acknowledge that THE PEOPLE should have a voice in how they want their community to be. You both only want to dictate your will upon others.

And because of that our country is falling apart.
