In the end, the contract from the gays is with .gov. And at the same time a business forms a contract with .gov. So in the end they all are connected to .gov...

That's a very tenuous connection, amounting to no connection.

That is the connection. Marriage has been adjusted by the state in the past; race, age, etc.

[fwdude]

You already do that for married couples.

That's my point! That marriage is much MORE than merely a contract. It affects society and makes CLAIMS upon others.

That's why the disingenuous point of "just a contract" is so deceitful. It imposes on others.
