This is childish and silly, we have a real political battle on our hands and these closet end of marriage people want to pretend that we can just convince the voters to end marriage as we know it since our creation as a nation.
In other words suddenly marriage and divorce law and benefits ends, and polygamy and gay marriage become normal anyway.
Marriage has always been legal or illegal, whether it was Roman law, or Greek law, English law or law imposed by the Catholic church, or Islam, or the tribe.
IF YOU DON’T CARE IF YOUR MARRIAGE IS LEGAL, THEN REMEMBER, NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER, AND NEVER DID, SO JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU DON’T CARE IF THE REST OF US RECOGNIZE IT.
If you had a private gay marriage 30 years ago, or a 100 years ago, so you did, it just wasn’t recognized by law.
The political aspect is small potatoes compared with the "fabric of society" or "civilization" aspect.
One thing that isn't working right, in this social upheaval, is that judges are empowering a radical minority to impose a fundamental social change against the will of the majority.
The judges are also undercutting the legitimacy of their own institution, and one day will find that a substantial fraction of the population views the courts as nothing more than glorified clowns.
