It just seems like government should stay out of those matters. If it is the privileges associated with it then why should the government be in the business of discriminating when deciding who hands them out. Personally I think marriage should be be a personal thing separate from government and it should only hand out civil unions to everybody in order to avoid that sort of thing.
