Time for a Divorce

"Imagine if government had no interest in the definition of marriage. Individuals could commit to each other, head to the local priest or rabbi or shaman—or no one at all—and enter into contractual agreements, call their blissful union whatever they felt it should be called, and go about the business of their lives."

David Harsanyi misses the point of this "legal" battle, IMO, these persons want their god[1], the god called STATE, to be the all-powerful third party in their marriages, because they want all the benefits and privileges that their Omnipotent Benefactor can force others to give them, the rest of the rhetoric is just smoke and mirrors.
[1] ″…in modern society, with its religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, it would be much harder for any single group to demand allegiance — except for the state, which remains the one universally accepted god.″ ~ Roderick T. Long, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
