Some couples have a religious or tribal wedding, but don't get a marriage license. If you get a marriage license, you convert your marriage from a private, religious, or tribal institution into a government institution. And you give government busybodies power over your marriage that they wouldn't have otherwise.
To preserve the sanctity of marriage, some members of the clergy refuse to sign marriage licenses.
Democrats and Republicans have written tax laws and other laws that sometimes discriminate in favor of, and sometimes discriminate against, couples that get marriage licenses. What excuses do Democrats and Republicans give for this discrimination?
Michigan, like most states, prohibits same-sex marriage licenses. But no state prohibits same-sex marriages. No state prohibits same-sex religious or tribal weddings.
Some Democrats and Republicans claim that the laws that prohibit same-sex marriage licenses also prohibit same-sex marriages. They are wrong. This is one example why you shouldn't trust what Democrats and Republicans say.
