The Republican Case for Gay Marriage

There are two main forces driving my support of Gay Marriage, the first is my believe in Laissez-faire, Free Market, Capitalism and the second is my strict interpretation of the Bill of Rights. As to the first issue I ask what is marriage? Is it two people sharing a sacred oath of love? Dear god no! Marriage is a nice tax shelter, second stream of income, and a partnership that benefits the deceased's spouse, so that equates to being a contract, and individuals should be allowed the freedom to sign contracts, without that free enterprise would be doomed. Does this mean seven consenting adults (lets say 3 lesbians, 2 gays, and 2 "metrosexuals") should be allowed to get married, unfortunately it does in my book. Secondly and more persuasively is the little of matter of Amendment #1, which says the government can't screw around with religious practices, so a few homosexual types form a new branch of oh I don't know, Lutheranism, and they decide to marry other homosexual types in their church, well by golly there ain't no government that can put the kibosh on that business (of course I know there are plenty of governments that can put the kibosh on a lot of things). The feds have no say in your religion and don't you forget it. Again this leaves the door open for polygamy, but I ask you what makes your set up so much god damned holier? And shouldn't government be allowed to limit harmful religious practices in extreme cases, there are a lot of guys walking around with half a dick because some sick bastard got trigger happy at the circumcision.
