What I do not get is why is the govt. in the marriage defning business in the first place. Why are rights assigned to married people? That is BS and it needs to stop - then everyone is on equal footing as gay people can marry in every state in the union right now - the states just do not recognize that religion as opposed to traditional marriage.
