THE ISSUE: In response to changing social mores which allow for alternatives to the "one man, one woman" marriage, government is escalating its enforcement of the traditional rule of marriage. This is infringing upon the rights of association of those who do not wish to partake in the traditional relationship.

THE PRINCIPLE: Marriage is a social institution whose meaning is given not by the state but by the social mores of those participating in such a union. Most government regulation of marriage is based in the religious mores of those who populate government offices. The concept of separation of church and state requires that the state stay out of defining marriage.

LIBERTARIAN SOLUTIONS: We call for the abolition of all state laws and regulations restricting marriages, including the marriage license. We call for the abolition of all laws prohibiting marriage between any consenting adults, or any number of consenting adults.

LIBERTARIAN ACTION/TRANSITION: In order to achieve freedom to choose one's mate or mates, society as a whole must come to understand that no one person, group or religion has the authority to define "marriage" for everyone else. Separation of church and state necessitates the removal of religious iconography from government regulation to the extent that any citizens are denied equal protection of the laws. Also, we must understand that one person's sin is another person's love, and the law should only concern itself where force or fraud is involved.
