John Stossel on Government and Marriage

Republicans in Oklahoma were angry after a judge ruled their
state must recognize gay marriages—so they proposed that the state
stop recognizing any marriages. They may have
been throwing a tantrum, but getting government out of the mix
would put an end to many stupid fights, John Stossel writes.

If private individuals are free to make whatever marriage
contracts and observe whatever marriage customs they like, that
leaves everyone else free to ignore those couples if they don’t
approve. Arrangements that work best will tend to endure, Stossel
argues. Let people love, in ways old and new, even if we make
mistakes along the way.
