I was on the fence until I found out that some Americans are forbidden from marriage (because they are on probation for a crime). The idea that a government can decide whether or not two people can enter a contract of love is completely absurd. Unfortunately, it is not new, because the same government denied the 'right of marriage' to slaves for like 200 years. I applaud those who do it (and stay in it) but for me, it's a complete joke and waste of resources. Great post!
