The point was to not make things worse by further supporting legislation to artificially prop up the institution of marriage. Those enumerated programs do indeed work, in my view, to varying degrees and do not contribute to an unequal playing field if administered properly (domestic violence is the big one with a capital PROPERLY). No societal institution can flourish if not on a level playing field...
The point is the presumption of equal parenting rights. The point is the 14th amendment..
>>Those enumerated programs do indeed work, <<

long live FDR ( /sarcasm on)
