Conservatives Supporting Same-Sex "Marriage"

Lately we've seen a rash of self-proclaimed conservatives, including Glenn Beck, who are stating they have no objection to same-sex "marriage."  These folks claim it won't change their marriage if two guys or two gals tie the knot and perhaps it's time for the government to get out of the marriage business.  

The fact is, by allowing same-sex "marriage", which can only happen by re-defining the definition of marriage, the end result will change your marriage.  As for the state being involved in your marriage there are good reasons for the state, or society if you prefer, to care about and regulate marriage.  They are showing a lack of historical knowledge about the reasons for states to regulate marriage laws, as well as not thinking through to the unintended consequences of redefining marriage.  Not thinking things through is a hallmark of the liberal mind.

The following two articles were both published today and cover the issue way better than my time allows.  It is important to have the information available when the subject comes up for discussion and these two articles will help.
