    Approximately 90% of black voters voted for Amendment One - a group that typically votes Democrat.
This is sadly true.

    I think it's so odd that the GOP stumps on less government intrusion... unless it's in the bedroom.
This is also sadly true. You are not a typical "R" in this regard. In fact, I recall having conversation with you about how, like I mention in my original comment, government shouldn't be involved in marriages at all. All that you wrote in your comment is accurate. Mine is too, I don't think they're at odds.

Well, actually, I think I said that no matter what you think, that boat has sailed and what I think gov't needs to do is retrench in public policy parapets where there is still broad societal support - legal marriage age, number of spouses in a union, etc, etc.

You get enough edge conditions and you get problems.
