It's simplistic to say that states should not place limits on legal marriages. Should a 45-year-old be allowed to marry a 6-year-old? (Yeah, I know, there's another issue there: marriage is a contract and USUALLY minors can't make valid contracts. Except when they can.) Or should you be allowed to marry your mother? The state's in the business, like it or not. The question is where the line is drawn. It has and had been thought that valid marriage should be limited to persons of opposite sex. That may be changing, although slowly and very grudgingly. If it does and gay marriage is legalized, I somehow doubt the United States of America will immediately collapse and join the third world.
