Think of it this way, although the leftists and their disciples never will: we are under a "penal justice system," which says that all conduct is legal unless prohibited by some law. The government action of sanctioning marriage can be seen as not the creation of prohibitions, but the preventing of usurpers from coming in to redefine and, thereby, destroy.

Nothing DOMA did changed anything that wasn't already true, although the Left wants us to believe the fantasy that DOMA and like laws somehow "took away civil rights." DOMA was the law before ANY state counterfeited marriage. The homo-Left leaves that part out.

“The government action of sanctioning marriage can be seen as not the creation of prohibitions, but the preventing of usurpers from coming in to redefine and, thereby, destroy.”

The state recognition of marriage has good elements, true. And bad elements. The whole civil rights argument for “gay marriage” is completely wrong. But I can understand the argument, as many simply look at marriage a collection of benefits and strictures that can be ended and resumed between any two (or more) people as long as the state agrees. Which is a bad result of state involvement, in my opinion.
