We live in a representative republic. People are elected to represent their constituents in statehouses and the Governors mansions around the country. If those elected officials choose to legalize gay marriage, then the voters can determine whether or not they want to elect different people who repeal those laws. That’s our system and it works beautifully, if not always perfectly.
“Marriage equality” has become quite the catch phrase in the last couple of years. But it’s not really about equality when all is said and done. Let’s examine my home state of Georgia and what is required to have a legally recognized marriage.
Note for the record that I am not anywhere close to be being an attorney and I’m not going to attempt to make any grand legal arguments here. I’m merely stating the “equality” argument doesn’t hold up under scrutiny when looking at it from logical viewpoint.
