Actually Marriage is an institution recognised by the government.
Supposedly Government gives tax breaks to married couples, and support for children in lower income families ( I stress supposedly ). I do not think todays current American government system sincerely works to encourage marriage and help families with children that need it in Financial, educational and medical coverages that families with children need.
So the government position is moot in reality.
Basically the way the government see's marriage is nothing more than an investment in hopes that a married couple have children.
Gay couples do not create children and therefore should not be entitled to the benefits as the government see's it. However religeous orders make good sense to combat the gay's to the government... So it is what it is.
