The problem is that governments, local and national, have gotten involved in something that was not their concern. We allowed it to proffer benefits and entitlements to heterosexual couples only then complain about certain exclusions. What we should be complaining about is the intrusion of government into the most basic human condition.
Since you think that government shouldn't be involved in marriage would it be safe to assume that you, in fact, have chosen not to get married? If you're not married, great. If so, how do you reconcile your feelings on this topic with your actions, and how do you justify denying others the same ability to take advantage of a government benefit/entitlement that you yourself took advantage of?
