And Barack says......

One thought of mine on this video is this: our politicians is pretty much our government and make our laws. To say that government is not intruding or involved in marriage (or civil unions) is like saying that Bill Clinton never had an affair. Sorry Mr. President the government is already involved. This issue will always face the government.

If the government was truly neutral , then there would be no favor or law promoting homosexual or heterosexual marriage and everyone would have civil unions or marriage and have equal rights. It would be treated like the separation of church and state (or in this case, separation of marriage and state).

If the government is to take an equal rights approach, then the government should one of two things. 1. Either allow the gay community to be wed in a marriage and have equal rights as heterosexuals or 2. marriages of any kind would be prohibited in the future, current marriages be null and void, and all "marriage rights" like adoption, visitation in the hospital, etc. would be overturned.
