That is what he said in this thread:

It is wrong for the federal government to provide special benefits to anyone on the basis of marriage, straight or gay. source

What are you doing or planning to do then to get the federal government out of providing benefits for marriage?

It's disingenuous for you to state that you are against something, but not do something as a congressmen to try and fix it. Especially when current laws are already in place that provide such things and are doing so unequally. Doing nothing is supporting the current system, which is hypocritical because you just said it is wrong.

Rep. Amash, if you believe that marriage is private/religious and should not be dealt with by the government, will you take the step to completely separate marriage from government...for ALL citizens? To make Civil Unions (or equivalent) the only involvement government has?
