Same Sex Marraige

Why shouldn't SSM be allowed? How can people deny others their rights? The role of the government (obviously in my eyes) is to protect their people from physical danger. This is an umbrella definition because this can be from any number of things, such as; violence, poor financial situations, theft, and even oppression. The government should not be responsible for spiritual protection, which is why our constitution states that we should separate the church and the state. Religous beliefs do not belong in politics.

What is the harm in allowing all people the ability to marry whom they want?
