"Opposing gay marriage is simply seeking to prevent the government from extending special rights to one particular group on their basis of their particular preferences."

So I guess you support taking government out of marriage completely then. It's the only way out of your logic.

If government had no role in marriage, except maybe registration forms and ID, this would not be an issue.

It's only because of SPECIAL STATUS we grant marriage in the laws, particularly tax/family/estate laws, that creates the controversies.
