Yup. Folks have been conditioned to think that marriage is defined by the state, that a piece of paper from the gov’t determines if one is married or not. So they easily accept any impossibility the state puts forth as “marriage”, after all it’s just another lousy gubberment contract.
Pope Leo XIII saw this coming over a hundred years ago.

Heterosexual marriage is a pre-political institution which is why Leftists hate it. But if it is just a “piece of paper” tell gay activists that.
It sounds like you’re a victim of a public education history lesson. The state has conditioned you well.
