Same sex marriage?? LEGAL DISCRIMINATION

Options
So this has been bugging me... If it's considered "illegal" and a "hate crime" to discriminate against ANYBODY reguarding race, marital status, religion, sexual orientation etc; Why in the heck is it OK for the government to dictate who can marry who?? I feel this is a form of "LEGAL DISCRIMINATION" stupid right?! Sounds to me like they are setting a double standard.. I really dont understand politics but why is it so dang hard for them to allow this??? People are going to be with who they want no matter what just my opinion... AND if im not mistaken they say a union is supposed to be with a man and a woman...isnt that based on some form of religious belief?? I thought we were a country with freedom of religion? smh:noway:
