It’s not so much about making the group seem bigger than it really is. It’s about not hurting their feewings. They want to be married and mean people don’t want them to be married and that makes them sad. Mean people suck, you know.
Of course, it’s wrong to want to keep people from being happy, but anyone who thinks a marriage license is a happiness license is delusional. Similarly anyone who thinks a marriage license guarantees you get sex is delusional.
But we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feewings, do we?
It really isn’t about the license or the law. It is about forcing acceptance and embracement of an aberrant lifestyle that really hasn’t a basis in nature. They can put all the lipstick and glitter they want on it, but it is still a pig in the end.
Their real purpose is to force acceptance and complete endorsement of their aberration.
