cutlerish replied to your post: If you are pro gay marriage, and your state isn’t, why are you giving money to your state for a marriage certificate when getting married?

Same goes for paying taxes.

No, for instance, my state has a BAN on gay marriage because it ruins the sanctity of marriage.

So what if I wrote my governor, congressman, etc and say “I LOVE my girlfriend SO much, but I can’t get married in the state of California because I don’t agree in the State’s views of marriage, so we will abstain as well as not pay for our marriage certificate until such a time as the views of the state of California change”?

I think it sends a message.
