See my post #21. Believing in the strength of the nuclear family whilst simultaneously fearing homosexuality as a thread to it is contradictory. Furthermore, I don’t believe in using government power for social engineering, which is really what marriage laws really are if you think about it. As you said yourself, “the Government chose to recognize and encourage it by providing certain benefits/incentives.” Sounds like social engineering to me...
It isn't fear of homosexuality -- just recognition of the bigger picture and the ultimate goals. Ever read the goals of the Communist Party? Try these two for starters:
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.But why fight Communism? After all, anti-Communists are really just "Social Engineers!"41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

LOL. Well, then let's just do away with all police forces, schools, highways, etc. Those are just "social engineering" projects, aren't they? Illegal immigration? Nah... no such thing -- that's just social engineering! Why have laws at all? Anarchy is obviously a better solution. And why concern ourselves with the survival of civilization -- just more "social engineering."
