A government decision solely based on which genitals
the government thinks are between the legs of the citizens
affected by the decision. What else could it be except
for discrimination based on sex?


It's not a government decision.

Whose then? Your god's? The *government* is the body that,
when Alex and Sam come in for a marriage license application,
look in Alex and Sam's pants to make sure that they have just
one penis and one vagina between them. Tell me again, why
should we the people impel the government to care?

If you don't want to marry someone of the same sex,
then don't. If you think it is against your religion
for people to do so, then don't join a church that's
willing to perform a religious same-sex marriage service.
If you think that you should be able to tell other
grownups who they can and can't marry, get over yourself.

Married 8 years, and still wondering how the marriages
of other people are supposed to harm my own.

Of course...a voice of reason in the silly forest.
