Possibly, but even more so is the aspect of hererosexual unions having the power to procreate, something that homosexual unions, alas, cannot do.
Licenses serve as the very UN-liberal method of determining the responsibility of those who would bring children into the world.
It's an enduring mystery of why homosexuals even feel the need for the institution of marriage. There's no need to legitimise procreation and it brings property division and a whole host of problems into the mix when they divorce.
Most likely, it's just like all the other things that "gays" complain about - they just want society to accept them as legitimate.
That is another argument against same-sex unions, but my response was focused mainly on one aspect of it (the intrusiveness of forcing people to uplift what a great many of them consider to be deviant behavior).

Absolutely right. Not to use a slippery slope fallacy here, but I can totally see gays trying to use this as a platform with which to get a "Hate Speech" code passed. After all, they did it in Canada...
