How is the legal recognition of same-sex marriage an issue of limited government?

People always say: "If you are for limited government, why do you care if gays are allowed to get married?"



If state governments allow for the legal recognition same-sex marriage, wouldn't that mean the government is expanding its power to open a state-regulated institution to even more couples? They are trying to regulate even more partners. Sounds like an expansion of government to me.How is the legal recognition of same-sex marriage an issue of limited government?Actually, proponents of limited government should be against any government involvement in any marriage.

A huge drive behind this is nothing other than money.

I want nothing to do with it.



Also, it's worth noting that Hispanics and African-Americans helped get Prop 8 passed in California.
