Ok, then... I'll ask it: What the Hell does it matter who is married and who is not? I'm all for the social celebration of a permanent union between ANY two adults, providing we're not talking about those that would produce offspring that would further cloud the gene pool... How does that become a matter of governmental preference?
It's argued that insurance companies favor married folks. That has a statistical basis. Marriage is generally a safer and healthier lifestyle than promiscuity. Private companies like Disney are changing policies to extend benefits to same sex partners... but that's THEIR decision to make, not Uncle Sam's.
Any preference the government might make toward a particular citizen's lifestyle should be stricken from law, unless another person's lifestyle or life is threatened by it. If you can't agree with that, then I hope the feds come after your own life next.
